There was “weather” in DFW and we got diverted to beautiful, glamorous Longview Texas for about an hour.
Then the fuel truck came out. Hoo boy. I was all in a dither.
They did open the door and let some fresh air in and we were allowed to stand up and move about the miniscule RJ (that's airline talk for “Regional Jet” (a little ER4 Embraer)cabin. They said if we were going to be there for more than an hour, that they would order pizza for us. Who says AA doesn’t have a heart?!
Wait, it gets better, after we took off, they served us free juice or water! Can you stand it!
We were kinda hoping that Madonna, Britney or some other “celebrity” was going to show up and cause a scene but all we saw was some loose cattle roaming the runway in Longview. They mighta been those cows that try and talk you into “eatin’ more chikken” or something like that.

Yeh it was unbearably hot in both places with towering thunderheads in the sky that hardly ever make any rain that hits the ground.
