Still waiting...

At least the airport has power again...

Welcome to Toronto...

unfortunately we can't get you off the plane because of the lightning. Don't be alarmed if the plane is hit by lightning as it should pass along the skin of the airplane. At least, that's if the plane is airborne -- no grounding issues. When the plane is on the ground... I wonder what happens then...




Toronto airport (see the 'Sheraton' sign in red?), Gate F1, after the power went out, in a storm, stuck on the plane.

and you need a helmet...

Mexican food, Mexico City Style





Aztec soup. Choose your own toppings: sour cream, tortilla strips, cheese, avocado, fried tortilla strips that look like fried pork rinds.

A Rainy Fourth





Marilyn and Aeryn await the start of the Village of Hoffman Estates Fourth of July parade.













What do all of these people have in common? Getting rained on. Oh, and obesity. After two weeks in Europe it's nice to come home to my country where, when it comes to industrialized nations, we may not be number one in education, or life span, but we are in obesity--great job, Americans! Have a donut!

A pre-4th Picnic

Nice day. Good weather. Had to get out of the house. Oh, and a realtor was showing our place. Just watch out for the dog poo. Some guy caught a small mouth bass over two feet long. Marilyn got a chance to do some reading.
