Unique and saddening travel experience

I-75 was completely shut down north bound. Fortunately, I was going south bound. The unique thing is this was not due to your usual accidents, construction or VIP visits. Found out that a 48 year old man from Mississippi had climbed over the overpass and jumped down to the highway and got smashed to his death by a trailer! What a tragedy! 🙁

That was a little jarring

Pulled into a rest area after crossing Florida border to use the rest rooms. Just as the car came to a stop in the parking lot, looked up and saw this sign in front. Well, that was not a very restful visit to the facilities. Was constantly looking for snakes around!

Allegedly, that is the plane that will take me home this evening in this weather

We will see how far we can get past the gate first…

Update at midnight:
That plane did not even have a fighting chance to get out of the gate. Eventually, it was a different plane, a different equipment, 7 – yes, seven – delays amounting to a full 5 hour delay (we could not find our crew, the cleaners, the baggage folks apparently gave wrong information to the pilots, de-icing mix up – all sorts of fun that you can only take in your stride after you have put in about 8 million miles of flying) finally in Atlanta at midnight.

Strangely, I feel my world is normal again!!
