Because I'm still working on Heavy Ice, even with the journeying yesterday, as whenever there was a possibility of wifi I was trying to get online and see if the email confirming my shuttle reservation had arrived (it never did. I got emails saying it had been sent.)
Other travails of travel: trying to find one's way with one's suitcase to one's hotel in a strange city, without Google Maps, because not turning on data-via-phone, and streets which could be better marked. Also, person who I asked who gave me directions that would have been appropriate had I been in a car but were totally ridiculous for a pedestrian (I later discovered I just needed to backtrack 2-3 blocks and turn right...): SIGH.
And further on crap signage, the university campus Could Do Better, but have now more or less got myself orientated.
Also, have been being Little Miss Fussy at B&B over room - I really do not think a small high-up window without blind or curtain, more or less over the bed, into which a street-light shines even before the dawn comes up like thunder, is a sensible design feature. Am now in a room which I think may work for That Pernickety Englishwoman...
And on being an Englishwoman, voici the benefits of always having an umbrella about me: it is showery here in Hoosier country.
Does taking a nose-dive into the archives - once I'd found the building, which was not where I thought I'd left it on previous visit - count as reading? I suspect the wee baby archives assistant is not best pleased at my arrival, as I am doing my best to dash through stuff during a brief visit.
Also, have had a nice meal with a margarita to it and feeling a little more in charity towards the world.
