I was in contact with her earlier today. She's okay! Where she lives has a
bit less snow than what we are seeing on the telly. Having said that, she's
snowed in like everyone else. What a mess! There are people who will spend
Christmas waiting for planes.

When the airport closed they hauled eveyone who would go to the
airport hotels. They ran another shuttle later to the hotels in
Denver. That left only 4,700 in the airport overnight. This am they
ran a convoy of busses from downtown and got 600 to go downtown. This
afternoon they tried again. They think they are down below 3,000 in
the airport. Some are saying they will wait there until they get a
standby seat. Because that is the only way they think they will get a
seat. Others say they will wait in the hotel until a confirmed seat
is available. But either way - this is $$ out of the travelers
pocket.
