On the ground in bluegrass country

Lexington, KY

I don't think my iPhone camera takes pictures as well as my Razr did. Though there are a couple of functions that make it more complex (albeit more versatile), so maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it.

Anyway, here in Lexington after a minor weather hiccup. Just as we were ready to board the plane this afternoon, this violent thunderstorm hit out of the blue. It was so odd. Having my iPhone to look up the weather radar, I saw it wasn't your typical 500-mile front sweeping in from the West. It was more like a kernel of popcorn exploding suddenly right over the city. Within an hour it had come and gone, but boy did it make its presence known.

So an hour's delay, then wheels down in Louisville, where I ran into mini-me at the gate. His day went well and they got done superfast and super early. Greeted by a PA (complete with "Rob Biesenbach" sign) and driven the hour or so to Lexington. Talked with the director. Everyone agrees mini-me was a hit. I've got a tough act to follow.

Scooted downtown and found a spot to eat, courtesy of yelp and Google Maps, then back to the hotel to rest for tomorrow. Hopefully the iPhone knows how to wake me up properly. And on East Coast time.
