Arrived Safe in Boston

After one of the most discomforting landings I've endured in a while (very nasty crosswinds, lots of bumps), touched down at 7:05AM.

$85 cab ride to N. Tewksbury.

Checked in to the Hotel... Holiday Inn Tewksbury-Andover

Breakfast at 9 with the others from my project who arrived yesterday.
I should just have time for a shower and change of clothes.

And now you get to sit in a hotel, and listen to presentations. Yay!

No, we get to carpool to the factory and talk to the engineers building our instrument...

The life of a jet-setter!

You went right by my hometown. It's that exit on 93 where the onramps and offramps are all merged together into a giant rotary hovering over the highway.

You lived under The Merge? What's that, hmm, Charlestown? Argghhh... can't remember!

Well, I guess there are many big rotaries there, but the one I meant is at the edge of the Fells, the Winchester exit. I once had some native Californians out there visiting with me, and I still remember their reaction. First, shock at this thing called a Rotary, second, awe that one had been incorporated into the 'freeway' system.

('freeway' is in quote tongs because it is not a word used by residents of Massachusetts, the word used back there is 'highway' which is used to refer to things like Route 3 (2 lane street) as well as things like Route 128 (8 lane freeway). And route is always pronounced 'root' or else they won't understand what you're talking about.)

Yo, you guys having the usual LoEG party at Furrcon? We are not going to the con but are considering getting a night membership or something so we can go to your party :-).

Friday night, as usual. Got nigori sake in addition to the regular sparkling stuff...

Glad you made it safe and sound.
