An interesting day to begin

My careful preparation to arrange a flight to Mexico City with a company well known for its reliability may have been for naught. I arrived at San Francisco Airport at midnight after my very first Uber ride ($15 to the airport - I am a believer!). Having purchased a cheap foam mat and a $4 pillow from Walmart, I was ready for a four-hour nap nearby the Delta Airlines counter. Nestling into my spot, I fell right asleep. Shortly after 2am I awoke to my phone giving me a notification from my BBC News app. "All Delta flights grounded after nationwide system outage."

So much for avoiding the lines. It is quiet at 3:17am, but the Delta Airlines travelers are already anxiously taking positions. It could be a busy day!
