Airport musings
Yesterday brought such scary weather to our area and I think the power is still out at the shops. Hydro one estimates it won't be back on until the 11th. Mr knits is pacing up the generator as our much anticipated hydro inspection is today. If it cannot be done today,this will put the Tinkletorium redo on hold for another week!
On the way to Syracuse last night, I stopped in Watertown to stretch and maybe do some shopping. I discovered a new to me store that has great stuff, actually fabulous clothing! Of course, I had to buy a few things. Like 3 wrinkle resistant 100 per cent cotton shirts, two cotton summer cardigans, one pair of Evan Picone linen slacks ($2.99!)and a pair of dress jeans (that's an oxymoron if I ever heard one!) All of this totaled less than $100! Which meant that I didn't need to pack a suitcase as I took everything out of my case and put in all my new clothes, and left the clothing I had packed back in the car.
This morning, I made my way to the airport,and had the most delightful taxi driver. He was a charmer-he actually called me a young lady! It seems he needs to get his eyes checked.
Syracuse airport is quite small compared to Toronto. At security, I set off the metal alarms due to my knee replacement and had to have the dreaded pat down. Well, if I can only say one thing...she was thorough. I swear there were parts of my body she touched that Mr Knits has never touched! Like the bottom of my bare feet! Then after she finished this five minute pat down, she had to wipe her gloves with some special wipe and test it for explosives! They went through my luggage piece by piece. I can happily report knitting needles are allowed on airplanes now.
So now that I am through security,I am thankful there is free wifi at the airport, and I am also thankful that Mr. Knits did not listen to me when I told him all I wanted was the plain iPad. I would be lost without this 3G wifi unit. He knows me better than I do! How else could I be talking to you? I shall have limited access to wifi once I am in Columbus, but will actively seek out a Starbucks where I can get a cup of tea and update you all on the show.
Once again, please forgive any formatting and spelling errors, I still haven't got the hang of this virtual keyboard. But it does make for some funny errors.
