Day 1 of Oklahoma

Well, I left home this morning and the taxi picked me up around 6:00AM and shipped me off to the airport.  I have to admit, for flying...things went smoothly enough.  All my flights were on time, and I even had a seat all to myself from Chicago to Oklahoma City.  I had given myself plenty of time for my connecting flight in Chicago, but I didn't need it, as my flight from Buffalo to Chicago was 30 minutes early!  The pilot must have had somewhere to be or something.  So, I spent a lot of time in Chicago just sitting there watching people go by.  There was a young boy about 6-7 who had those roller skate shoes on, and he was just going everywhere.  (Why can't adults use those? - It looked like a fun way to get around)  What drove me nuts were the carts the airport people drive around to transport people to their gates.  They have this constant annoying beeping to let people know they are there.  Then every once in awhile the driver would actually beep the horn on the cart to get somebody to move.  I started calling them "beeping carts" and "beeping drivers".   Here's a picture of the Chicago airport...



I still had to do some work while traveling.  The site was calling me to ask questions, then I had to call someone else to get the answers, contractors were calling me, customer project managers were calling me, etc...Finally stopped working just a few minutes ago.  I did order one of the best dang calzones I've had in a long time.  There's a BBQ place down the street I'd like to try some night too.

The weather here is beautiful (at least it was today).  Very sunny and about 55 degrees.  I even drove for awhile with the window down.  As you can see from the above picture how sunny it was...and the speed limit was great too!!


Anyhow, that's about it for the day...Missing my family...

  2. "Beeping carts" , huh. No wonder I'm corrupted! I'm glad the weather is nice and the flights went well. Miss you of course, hope all goes well tomorrow.
