Sudden night
I'm updating from the Apple store at Danbury Fair Mall where I'm hanging out until I can go to the airport to pick up Blair. Her flight has been delayed because of the storm in New York.
I met that storm already. I got my nails done after work, and when I left, it was still reasonably light out; early evening light, when you've got a good hour until it gets dark. But I hit that heinous Rt. 7, and when I crested a hill, I saw a dark purple sky ahead, and soon, I was magically plunged into night. It was so eerily dark! I could see lightning flashing in the clouds and striking in the hills, and as I pulled up to the mall, the rain began to fall.
Blair texted me to say she was delayed, and then we talked on the phone. She should be boarding her plane by now, so in an hour or so, I'll head thataway.
I scheduled the airline to send me a text message an hour before her planned landing to tell me if everything was on time, and the text came and totally said it was on time. HAH.
