the Way of the Turtle

LIGHTNING BELOW... WONDERFUL RAIN!
Wednesday, July 25, 2012

A relatively uneventful set of flights back - both left on time, which was a blessing considering we were scheduled to arrive in Rochester after midnight. Kudos to AirTran... even if our pilot on the first leg introduced himself as Luke Skywalker, accompanied by Han Solo and Chewbacca the wookiee and flying the Millenium Falcon. Fortunately we didn't end up on the Death Star.

The 2nd leg got a bit bumpy as we approached Rochester - storms again! Watching lightning flashes from above has not lost its appeal!

We exited the terminal to light rain and wonderfully cool temperatures. I stood out in the driveway and enjoyed it while Ann opened up the house... not only was it exceptionally pleasant after the last 5 days of 100+ temperatures, but we desperately need the water too.

It's good to be back in our neck of the woods.
