Crowdstrike crash trashes the Internet

I'm the only one in my department not on Eastern time, so this is what it looked like logging in this morning.

SportsCenter opened the 6 p.m. ET show with this. Then, on a day when baseball resumes, cut day at The Open and Tour de France, the lead story is the first day of training camp for Da Bears.

Why I don't watch.

Today was not a fun day in airports. Crowded as heck, delays at every turn. And I was hungover.

I was in the gym. Captive audience.

Micro Jr. flew from Denver to Jackson Hole last night. Totally lucked out.

DIA is a zoo in normal times. A Friday in summer is insane. A Friday in summer with an IT meltdown -- he won the lottery.

Reassuring and yet not all at the same time.

Yes, flew through there last week, in on July 4 and then back the following Wednesday. Thank God for TSA precheck, and the train from Union Station.

My younger kid was doing a program at Georgetown for HS rising juniors and seniors. I picked him up today by car, but there were more than a few kids who were flying on Delta, which cancelled all unaccompanied minor tickets through Monday because of the glitch. So they are scrambling around trying to find places for them to stay.
