The City of New Orleans was probably annulled due to high waters at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers at Cairo.  Delays on the Crescent may be due to severe weather in the South.  There has been an above average number of tornados so far this year.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
