Tail Wind

After the movie, we drove out to the airport to pick up Mom, returning from her week in the wilds of West Virginia. We got there plenty early and thought we would spend some time in the Powell's book store while we waited. We checked the status board when we got there and it showed that Mom's flight was arriving. We blew it off as some kind of error, because who ever heard of a flight being 50 minutes early? Five minutes later we get a text from Mom telling us she's here, and where are we?

The flight was from Atlanta and it normally takes a little more than five hours to get to Portland, but this time they picked up a tail wind and got here almost an hour early. I was surprised, to say the least. I was also surprised that Atlanta is that far away.
