On the Road Again

The scientific program at DAMOP runs three and a half days-- Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and only in the morning on Saturday. The weather for the first three days was spectacular-- glorious, sunny late spring days, with clear blue skies and pleasant breezes.

And, of course, I spent the vast majority of that time indoors in dark rooms listening to talks.

Today, Saturday, I get to spend something like eight or nine hours driving, first to Schenectady to get Kate, and then on to Boston for a FutureBaby shower. (It's like a regular baby shower, but with jet packs and broadband Internet...). It's grey and dreary, has already rained some this morning, and the forecast for pretty much all of New England calls for thunderstorms.

Typical.

I join you in automotive misery. I just drove basically the reverse of your route, from Western MA through Western PA to Maryland, with heavy rain, thunderstorms, and tornado watches the entire second half of the trip. Drive safely!
