Except for Covid and hurricanes, flying now is not bad.

Hurricane conjurer here, headed again to BR via Atlanta to help the nonagenarians. I made it last month; will I sleep in the Atlanta airport tonight? Brought food.

No crowds, everyone masked and distant, and this time the Dunkin' is open in my gate area at Logan.

Could be worse.
