Good Bye

Brother D and I said good bye yesterday at the 30th Street Station; he's headed back west on AmTrak.  It was wonderful having him here; he made a big impression on Miss C.

I heard from him this morning early that heavy rain had washed out the track someplace between Pittsburgh and Chicago, so he had been on a bus overnight, and hadn't slept since leaving here.  (He had expected to be in his sleeper dozing peacefully!)  Ouch.  Later, he called from Chicago that the bus had arrived in time for his connection to the Empire Builder that will take him to Spokane.  I hope he catches up on the shut-eye. 

There seems to be crazy weather everywhere. . . . dry in the Pacific Northwest; way too much rain here; tornados and thunderstorms in between.
