The miracle of travel.

Evidently my post last night was a bit optimistic.

Yesterday morning about 11 AM I left Aguascalientes to go back home.  The distance (and you must first go a couple of hundred miles in the wrong direction to get to Mexico City) is about 2130 miles.  But the Mexico City airport had a problem which stopped all flights. Power to radar was down briefly - but that backed up flights incredibly.  

At this point the best estimate is that I will get home about 8:30 - the earliest would be 7 PM. For those of you who are math challenged that makes a whopping 62.7 MPH.   Using the straight line mileage from Aguascalientes to Sacramento the speed goes down to just under 48 miles per hour.  If I get there on the later flight the speed goes about a mile an hour. Thrilling isn't it?
