New ORD not open yet...
It's 17:20 here, and my office building is directly in the flight path to Chicago-O'Hare, and about 5 miles from the airport. We usually can't have the windows open because the planes make too much noise. It's been......eerily quiet the past couple of days out here along Route 83, where the trucks now make the most noise.

Yeah, according to CNN, of the U.S.'s major airports, only Logan and ORD are closed, and the two Wash DC airports are open, but are not ticketing passengers.

I understand Logan, I understand WashDC. I don't understand ORD. (unless I consider that the people running the place are a bunch of patrongage fatasses who, when required to do real work are blitheringly incompetent and incapable of performing the task.

Illinois is the most corrupt state in the union (with the ever-so-slightly possible exception of Louisiana).

Egged on by rogue sentient trees, some of them do wish it.
