Flying back home

This was a long day. We caught the 8 o'clock shuttle to the airport, and we got on a 10 o'clock flight to Minneapolis. Flying across South Dakota and western Minnesota, I was struck by the regular rectangles of the farms below. We had a meal in the Minneapolis airport and then caught a 6 p.m. flight that arrived in Providence at about 11 p.m. It would have been only 8 p.m. Pacific time, but the clocks got ahead of us flying east. It was 1 a.m. Eastern time by the time we got home again on Cape Cod, and we were exhausted.
