Chasing the sun

| No Comments

So, I've found a value to Adobe Contribute.  You can blog offline. That means you can live blog your flight from Detroit to Tokyo Narita and then on to Beijing.  Not bad, perhaps worth the price, particularly with an educational discount.

At any rate, we're headed Northwest, the name of the airline I'm taking as well as our direction.  It's 4PM now, Eastern time, and we'll arrive about 5 PM in Tokyo with a flight of a little over 12 hours.  In other words, we're almost standing still against the earth's rotation and letting Japan spin over to us.  Remarkable.

It's like chasing the sun.

n. b. Contribute allows you to both Live Blog and re-edit afterwards.  This post benefited from that.
