Some days...

Some days are just boring...

As usual, flights were delayed going to and returning from Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh is such a fasciniating place. Once one of the birth centers of our modern industrial might, it is now a city longing for its past, its glory days....And the United Steelworkers union bosses sit in their skyscraper looking over the wasteland that they helped create, blaming everyone but themselves. But, hey!At least they still have Linden Hall (pictured here)--the country club bought with their members' dues.

The old Homestead Works has been razed and is now a mall, filled with all the requisite chain stores and restaurants and a movie theater. The Homestead Works (for those non-labor historians) is the site of the late 1800s infamous battle between steel strikers and Pinkertons that resulted when strikers seized the property of Andrew Carnegie. .

Oh well...like I said, another boring day of travel, typical flight delays and meanderings.
