Been "on the road" for better than 20 hours now, from Bangalore to Frankfurt to Chicago. The last leg of the journey, the quick hop from O'Hare to Minneapolis-St.Paul turns out to be delayed by about an hour. Hmm. I wonder why?

Excellent. Nothing like weaving around a few thunderstorms on the way home. Actually, on the way out to India, two weeks ago, our flight into Chicago was delayed for identical reasons.
Update: yawn. For all the talk, even from the flight crew, about keeping buckled "for safety reasons" and cutting short beverage service and all that, the flight was smooth as silk.
