Chicago layover reprise...

3:49 pm CST.  Ah ha!  The air conditioning is totally down.  No wonder I'm sitting here absolutely still and sweating.  (Yuck!  I miss Vancouver already!)   Anyway, we can't board because the air conditioning unit in our gate is also what cools the airplane, and the airplane right now is 97 degrees F right now....too hot to cram a bunch of people.  So...of course we're waiting for the lovely mainetance people.
