Weather and Travel
Jul. 1st, 2014 09:25 amTwo pretty heavy storms rolled through Chicago last night. In my neck of the woods, the one window that hasn't been replaced yet sprung a small leak, and that was the extent of the damage. (The rain was being blown against the window as if I were in a giant car wash.)
Over the weekend, I was reviewing my travel plans for Worldcon. I was looking to see if I could squeeze in a jaunt across the Channel to see the D-day beaches. It doesn't look promising - the fastest option I saw involves taking the Eurostar train to Paris and backtracking to Bayuex. In short, I'd burn a day of travel to get there and another day getting to Ireland.
No Rotary today, because we're marching in the 4th of July parade Friday so I cancelled the meeting. Since I have writer's workshop tonight, this will allow me to get to the gym over lunch.
