I am back in New York; the train from Montreal arrived less than two hours late (my train to Montreal on Tuesday was close to four hours late, after I'd emailed rysmiel that as of Schenectady it was about 90 minutes late.

We hung out, and visited the Biodome and the Jardin Botanique, and had lots of sushi, and one short power outage. But we knew what caused it—a lightning storm, which also broke a heat wave—so we didn't worry much at the time, or at all once the power came back.

If I were to comment grumbling about parts of the country lucky enough to have the sort of weather where they get lightning storms to break their heat waves (as if just being lucky enough to get lightning storms at all weren't enough), would you understand that it's just my poor heat-addled brain and that I'm not really holding it against you?

I wouldn't hold it against you at all.

I'll also blame the heat for your having used "the country" as though you and Montreal--or I at home, and Montreal--are in the same country.

It hit here in Albany too with like results and fortunately not the flooding of the one a few weeks ago. The coolness is a relief and also nice to enjoy that without worrying about the things the last one brought. Plus we needed the rain. I've been fretting about my amur.

That particular route concerns me now, and that is a shame because although it is long, it is also a sensible and very pleasant way to travel. Glad you made it home safely.

I doubt anything worse would have happened than an unplanned layover in Schenectady; I'd have called kate_nepveu and, if she didn't have crash space, my in-laws again. If the route were thoroughly blocked, we'd probably not have left Montreal, which would have been inconvenient given that rysmiel has a busy work-week ahead, but no worse than that. There are other ways back into the States.
