Plane

I just got a call from my Oriental Wife. Their plane just landed in Beijing. Only seven hours late.

And all praise be to the Great Pumpkin, I look out my window this morning, and lo! I can see faraway buildings! The air is clear!

There is a high cloud cover, but things are clear down here. We have more than a quarter-mile visibility. Amazing.

I honestly can't remember the last time I could see something other than a thick bank of grey smog.
