I guess part of a diary that Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon wrote while on Columbia's final mission were found.
This morning was the worst drive yet. The snow started around 4am and we're in the middle of a possible 2"-4" accumulation, and it's messed up traffic big time. "They" are reporting triple the normal rush hour travel times, and O'Hare & Midway have already had 300 flights canceled. Had to pickup Juliet again, but this time I got a free breakfast buffet at her hotel before we took off. At least today is going slightly better than yesterday. At the end of the day, Juliet (who was outside taking a smoke break) called me and told me there was a beautiful sunset outside. No one believed her after the morning rush hour we had. Sure enough - there wasn't a cloud in the sky and there was a really nice, colorful sunset. Made a better end to the day than the beginning.
