MADE IT IN ONE PIECE, and only a little late. Flying seems to have gotten less unpleasant lately, though I may have just gotten lucky.

Had a nice walk along the beach, where military aircraft flew overhead regularly. You’d think there was a war on, or something. The Stennis apparently left town last night, headed who-knows-where. Korea? Here’s one I snapped right overhead.

Sadly, while the hotel has lots of Victorian charm, it lacks high speed internet access, so I’m connecting via dialup. That’s likely to reduce the bloggage this weekend, though maybe not as much as the various scheduled activities. And, by the way, that means that I’m less likely than usual to have time to keep up on email. Sorry about that. Just looking at the inbox, though, it seems as if an announcement that I’m travelling has, as usual, generated more email rather than less. Guess people want to be sure I don’t miss anything. . . .

Here’s a short QuickTime video from the beach, made with my digital camera. I’m not sure it was worth the time it took to upload, using this slow connection. . . .
