Bonehead

I was in Philadelphia for a couple of days this week. I'm not quite home yet, being stuck in Dulles until at least 11:00 this evening waiting for the flight crew to show up.

Since I left for the airport at about 4 PM to make sure I made my 6:50 PM flight without a big hassle (ever tried to find a gas station near the Philadelphia Airport to refuel your rental car?), I basically could have driven home faster than flying. If I'd left at 4PM, I would probably be getting home at about 11:30 PM or so.

As it stands now, I may or may not make it home by midnight. Late flights like this tend to get canceled because the flight crews can only be on duty for so long and if they get signficantly delayed they sometimes can't fly.
