Okay, made it to Cincinnati

The flight home is delayed due to more weather in DC, but at least it is earlier in the day and it doesn't sound quite as extreme as it was yesterday.

I ended up talking with a pilot who was headed home on the flight from detroit to cincy. Learned a bit about how jet engines work, what it's like to be a pilot and some things about the industry.

Apparently, pilots aren't the high-paid elite they used to be -- and jet engines sounds like a pretty cool engineering feat. Relatively simple design and, it seems, pretty efficient.

Anyway, it would be nice to get home sometime today.
