Sitting in the Colorado Springs airport, looking out the window to the East as the first glow of sunrise begins to define the unremarkable horizon. The laptop is plugged into the wall by the window so I'll have lots of battery time for the long Denver - N.O. flight later this morning. Like many of the smaller airports, this one has free wireless internet access. It always seems that the smaller hotels and airports have free wireless and the bigger and more expensive ones don't. I just paid $10 a day for wired internet access at the Doubletree hotel where I was staying. That is the kind of thing that I really find irritating. I can only presume that they don't particularly care how irritated I am.
There is a lot of excitement going on to my left with a flight that's running late because they are missing a crew member and things are tied up with people getting through security. Also there seem to be two other flights that are having problems going to Chicago and San Fran. Speaking of security, I just donated a nice Swiss Army Knife to the TSA, having forgotten to remove it from my messenger bag. Damn. Although the weather is crisp and clear here, the weather in New Orleans is supposed to be bad for the next few days, so I guess I'll get my first Fall dose of off-the-bike time this week. I can see a lot of big rain in southern Louisiana right now, and the forecast for today calls for a 90% chance of rain with 1-2 inches, and 20-30 mph winds. Hopefully it won't screw up my flight(s) today too much. I have about two hours between flights in Denver, so at least I have a little flexibility.
