I look at my watch. We have been in the air for about 25 minutes. I'm thinking, "wouldn't it be safer to just land here?" Heck, we had to be right over the Decatur airport. Anyway, we get back to St. Louis and wait for about 40 minutes before they reboard. Turns out it was a faulty warning light.
Finally arrive in Decatur at about 9:30. Stop at McDonald's on the way to my hotel. They make me "pull up" because they are out of fries and they have to cook some more. What a day.
On a couple of positive notes. I saw Bob Costas in the St. Louis airport...and the hotel gave me a free drink in the bar. So it wasn't a total loss.
