I didn't want to come to Sacramento. Now I can't leave. I want out. Now. Instead, I'm having a "Groundhog's Day"-Bill Murray experience. No, it's more like Tom Hanks in "The Terminal".
I am aware that fellow travelers have been stuck for days in places like Chicago and Portland. My current predicament is not caused by snow. It's fog. Fog in San Francisco.
You can drive from Sacramento to Eugene in 6 hours on a good day. But this is not a good day. Neither was yesterday. Now I'm pretty worried about tomorrow.
It is January 6. Why is this airport still plastered with "Happy Holidays" signs. Is the fog in San Francisco preventing airport personnel in Sacramento from taking them down? Or do they want us to reflect upon a happy moment in our past? Gosh, the holidays seemed like events that occurred a long, long time ago.
It's 2009 and we are prisoners. True, I have my guitar, which helps. And my laptop. Even free internet which is rare in airports these days. But I want to be home. Today please.
