BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) _ Holiday travel weather was starting out

ideal in the Dakotas, but some air travelers were knocked off

schedule by fog in Chicago.

Sixty-three-year-old Robert Johnson, of Fargo, was trying to get

home to Houston but his arrival was pushed back about five hours to

10 p.m. He says the delay is out of his control so he was staying

calm.

Johnson, who owns a cleaning service in Fargo, says he's looking

forward to yams, homemade cornbread and rice dressing, which are

``things I don't get up here.''

Eighteen-year-old Katelyn Weimerskirch, a freshman at North

Dakota State University, was headed from Fargo to East Dubuque,

Ill., but feared she would get stuck in Chicago if her connecting

flight goes on time.

Says Weimerskirch, ``The weather is not doing me any favors.''
