whew, are we there yet?

Brightness in the night
I woke up to the fires
Flahing in the night
Lightening in the sky
Lighting up the clouds in the middle of the night

As Snoopy used to type, "it was a dark and stormy night"

We were about an hour late into Omaha, our conductor thought likely due to the weather.
The bonus, or bright spot is if the schedule holds, time, in Chicago will go faster. Nothing against Chicago, I mean, I have never been there except for delays at the airport. And hey, some of my best buds are in/from Chicago! It's just that I hear not much is open on a Sunday, so not sure how far I will wander from the station.
Sears tower is on my list, along with a wi-fi, but it might be too late for the tower today, so that will happen on the return if need be

Nebraska has a lot to see as the train rolls along.
Farms, fields and small towns. The main feature...it is very flat. I mean it, flat!
That said, we are boooking along and I expect they will make some of that time up.

I am trying to think when was the last time I saw a red sunrise. I know the old sailor's addage about red skies,but I always felt that was for the coast, and not the inland. Regardless it was right pretty to wake up to.
