Busy Week

What a weekend.

I drove to Atlanta at 1:30 pm on Friday. I flew out of ATL at 5:00 pm and landed in Chicago around 7:15 pm. I stayed in a hotel that was way to nice for a one night stay, and woke up at 6:00 the next morning to drive an hour-and-a-half to a tiny town in the middle of Illinois named Momence. Once there, we had a veteran's memorial dedication that lasted from 11:00 to noon. Following the dedication, I drove back to Chicago, flew out at 7:00 pm, landed in Atlanta at 9:00, and drove the two hours back to Warner Vegas, GA. So all-in-all, about 12 hours of traveling for an hour long event.

Now, after this post, I'm packing so that I can leave at 3:45 for a week-long DVIDS training class back in Atlanta.

Some interesting things I saw while in Chicago:

From 10,00o feet: Chicago, a high-school football game and a cop pulling someone over (not incredibly exciting)

On ground level: A self-sanitizing toilet seat, the Christian flag being flown outside, a bronze statue in the image of Col. James Kasler and a fly-over by a four-ship of F-16s.
