We were speculating elsewhere that the source of the cause was an old mainframe that The Powers That Be forgot about and the only person who remembered it needs occasional attention retired during COVID.

How plausible is that theory? (Hopefully not so much!)

Just one more affirmation that early retirement was right for me. I expect a hassle for commercial flights. But if I had gotten ready for an early morning flight with my bosses out of Peachtree-Dekalb or Birmingham or Bush Field, a cancellation would have been very discouraging. I remember once having a corporate flight from Albany to Brunswick cancelled because of weather late in the afternoon. We had to get there and of course I was the designated driver.

Traveling east or west across the state of Georgia is a real pain because bridges across the larger rivers are few and far between. It seems like a 300-mile drive to get from Macon to Columbus.
