I had a good time at my Kitt Peak adventure. The two long travel days sandwiched around two all-nighters at the telescope made for a tiring week, but it was worth it.

While I was waiting in Chicago-Midlands airport to make a flight change, the following announcement went out over the public address system (and I'm not making this up):

" Will the passenger who forgot their frozen meat please report back to Gate C-21 to retrieve it"

Frozen meat???
