Made it to Ohio! Since my passport card is my real id, i left my drivers license. It was very last minute after taking the shuttle to the car rental place, and picking out a car, and driving to the gate when i realized.

At least there are things such as cabs and delivery dinner (salmon salad!) and colleagues with cars -- this should all work out just fine.

But argh. This is why check lists. Lessons learned can accrue on them.

Dublin, Ohio is far to the west of this timezone. The sky lightens up fairly late compared to what i am used to. That and the latitude, i guess. (It's north to me! 40° instead of 35.8°; y'all who live in real north can just laugh.)
