| 05:57 | First time in a week I've tried to navigate without Homer the GPS telling me what to do. Good thing I stayed right by the airport. |
| 05:59 | Bags checked, through Security and enjoying Port Columbus's free WiFi. SFO, you suck, and not just for the lack of free WiFi. |
| 06:46 | Okay, this stinks. 90 minutes before flight & I'm all caught up on my online stuff. Dammit, Internets, entertain me! |
| 08:09 | First flight delayed a few minutes. Second flight's been canceled. I'll get home eventually... |
| 08:21 | Good news: I have a new flight to SFO. Bad news: it's 3 hours after the one I was supposed to be on. |
| 09:47 | First flight of the day just landed. Once everyone's off & new folks on, we'll head on to LAX. Did I mention it's gonna be a long day? |
| 10:05 | Snagged an exit row for the next leg. Excellent. (Rubbing hands in most Burnsian fashion.) |
| 10:19 | Good news: I'm in the exit row. Bad news: so is the enormous gentleman next to me. |
| 14:48 | Just landed at LAX. Now to find something more substantial than peanuts and beef jerky. |
| 16:25 | I suddenly remembered why I don't hate being stuck at LAX. Wow. |
| 18:01 | On the plane to SFO. A workman just walked by with a power drill. That can't be good. |
| 20:04 | Finally arrived at SFO. Now all I need are my bags and a ride home. |
| 20:28 | Bags in hand. Waiting for SuperShuttle to get me the flock out of here. |
| 21:44 | Home at last. And only 16 hours after leaving my hotel in Columbus. Heck, Columbus himself probably got home quicker than that. |

Ghosts
There's something fascinating about ghost towns. California and the
Southwest are riddled with them: places that thrived once but now are
either empty or a shadow of their former selves. Bodie's an extreme
example; it was once the second or third most populous city in the
state, but went into a swift decline after the silver mines turned
unprofitable and shut down completely after a couple of fires took out
most of the place. Now it's a state park, and well worth a visit.
There are also the towns that avoided what seemed inevitable, former
mining towns like Bisbee, Arizona and Eureka, Nevada that prosper at
tourist attractions to a greater and lesser degree respectively.
I was on tour on the South Island of New Zealand when I encountered Avoca, a town that was down to one long abandoned house. It was on the route of the Tranzalpine Railroad, and was built to serve the railroad workers. As each section of the track was completed, the town and all its buildings were moved on to the next location. Finally it was done, and the remains of the town were dismantled. All but this one last house, which I guess nobody thought was worth moving. So it serves (or served) as a flop for the occasional squatter, and a reminder of a place that used to be.

| 13:41 | After two wrong numbers, I hope the caller's finally realized she has the wrong frelling number! |

| 12:13 | Poor NBC. Who'd have guessed that giving five hours of prime time to the incredibly bland Jay Leno would be a bad idea? Besides me, I mean. |
| 14:36 | Michael Steele says Harry Reid should resign over racist remarks about Obama. Really, Michael? "Honest Injun", he replies. |
| 14:58 | That didn't take long. First phishing app arrives for Android phones. Suddenly Apple's fascist app eval policies don't seem so crazy. |
| 15:43 | CMT has Field of Dreams on their HD channel, but in standard def. That's just wrong! And yet I'm watching it, for at least the 50th time... |
