So I just spoke to Allyson, who is currently stranded in Providence. It looks like, once she gets out of Providence, she might end up stranded in Chicago tonight. I've been asked to put out the word to anyone around here who might be in Chicago.

Anyone? Bueller?

Mostly lurking...

Poor Allyson! If she wants someone to come get her in Providence and take her to a party full of wonderful people tonight, and then take her back to Providence tomorrow, I could do that.

Can't help with Chicago. My brother lives there, but he's not back from vacation yet.

Kristen, her car is here, fwiw.

Yeah, I tried the UK version Lee. I'm a'googlin'.

Kristen, aurelia is in Chicago but might not be caught up in this thread. Do you want me to ping her? I just pinged her.

Thanks, Kristin and vw! I think maybe it will work out okay after all.

I did some research. It looks like the mondo delays are getting into Chicago, not out of. So, hopefully, once she makes it there, she can get home. Several hours late but home.

It turns out, Kat, that Allyson made a SuperShuttle reservation. We just talked about it and, if she ends up getting into LAX at 10 or 11, she'll take the shuttle home and I'll bring her over tomorrow to pickup her car. This way, there's no driving home at midnight on NYE.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It looks like, once she gets out of Providence, she might end up stranded in Chicago tonight. I've been asked to put out the word to anyone around here who might be in Chicago.

I'm here and available to rescue her from the evil airport if needed.

Thanks for the ping, Kristin. I'm a couple thousand posts behind.

Thank you so much! I'll let you know if we need to put a Rescue Allyson from O'Hare Plan into action.
