I finished my quick over-and-back to Portland a coupla hours behind schedule when PDX assigned our Spokane-bound plane this afternoon to a San Diego flight. Seems the plane for the San Diego flight broke down, and, well, there were more passengers on that one than ours. So, we were told to cool our heels for 90 more minutes. No big deal. The playoff game between Indianapolis and Baltimore was on the boob tube. And there was a small Powell's book store in the airport. Still, it was the first flight I've ever taken that was delayed somewhat. I've been lucky. Now, it's time to hit ths sack early. So, I'll leave this Wild Card for you to use Sunday ...
