civilized ku # 805 ~ testing the new iPad

Tree with dried leaves ~ Wilmington, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenI'm sitting here in a in a hotel restaurant - in suburban south Jersey, the day after the big storm - waiting for my pancakes and egg. The place is crawling with stranded air-travelers, many of whom are speaking in foreign tongues. Since the Nor'easter has "paralyzed" the northeast, many of them will be here (in the hotel) a bit longer than I will be.
That's because our "little" intrepid Suzuki SX4 (iAWD) is parked outside, awaiting our driving pleasure, after transporting me, the wife, and Hugo to our actual destination - this hotel. Yesterday, we drove into the teeth of the storm about 120 miles north of here and proceeded to spend the next 5 hours negotiating our way through all kinds of vehicular mayhem and wreckage. Quite obviously, there were a whole bunch of people out on the roads who had no business being there.
In any event, here I sit, typing away on our new iPad, waiting for the Apple store to open so I can test drive (and maybe purchase) a Mac Air for use as my portable picture making assistant.
And, no, we didn't drive all this way just to go to the Apple store. Last evening was the wife's family Xmas party.
