Try it again at 6 am

By now, plenty of people are waiting to get south. I went to the CDC to get a few things out of my stored luggage and my laptop screened. And the posted Manifest had 91 passengers. A second manifest for the next day was posted too. Not all people currently around are on the first flight.
Anyway, we got notice, try it again at 6 am tomorrow morning.

Something different

Around 7 a during breakfast word went out there might be a light at 9 pm. CDC told the Windsor we should stand by between 10 and 11 am for the final decision.
The lounge was full of people waiting to get to the pole. And then at 10:40am the No Go came. Back to square one.
