Wow, I've got to wonder what they were thinking, making a second attempt. I wonder if there was a high priority pax on board who just HAD to get to Aspen, right NOW!?
It's finally warm enough down here to go out on the dock with a beer and watch the sunset, and play with the dogs without a heavy jacket, but it was too cold this morning. Nothing like up there, but 34 is just too cold for Florida! At least I didn't have to shovel my car out. Have fun with that!
