The Holiday Travel Follies

[hrj]

I was expecting to run into snow delays in Boston. I was quite prepared to find that my flight from LA to Boston had snow issues. But I hadn't quite expected my itinerarius interruptus to get only as far as the Oakland Airport Hilton. It seems the plane that was supposed to be the Oakland-to-LA leg had mechanical problems in LA and never left the ground to come up here. Given that I'm now leaving Oakland at 5-mumble in the morning, the free airport hotel room makes life a lot simpler than having to go home and back again.

Ah, that would be it. Whereas Australia has imported its traditions from the Northern hemisphere, and in fact has no public holidays between early June and early October as a consequence.

We need to have a new holiday in mid-January, though: Exploding Trees Day. It'd be a big hit!

::dopeslaps self:: Hi Fruitbat! I should've figured I'd find you here... I've been singing "And The Bass Sings Low And Profoundly" for a dozen years since you posted it to Usenet.

**snrk!** Oh yes, that'd be good.
