After a VERY long day, we are safely back home. I never did read any books while in Juneau. Rather, I listened to a couple of Sabbath School lesson discussions for this week, listened to the current Splendid Table podcast, caught up on the Tour de France news, read some articles from Wall Street Journal, and downloaded and installed a number of software patches and updates. I probably saved about 500MB of bandwidth use on our home connection by using the free airport WiFi today. It was also about twice as fast as the connection we have at home. How sad is that? I really am looking forward to what I hope will be better speeds and prices once the fibre optic link is running. The connection is supposed to be completed next month.
The flight back was uneventful except that both landings were rather hard. The weather is typical Southeast -- rain. However what isn't quite as typical are the low temperatures for July. Lows in the 40's are more autumn temperatures.
The children survived our absence, they didn't tear one another apart, the family they stayed with survived, and both cats are glad to have everyone back home.
And that concludes the news for tonight. I'm looking forward to getting some real sleep for the first time since last Wednesday.
