They appeal to stupid people... and there are a lot of them!

Today is the last day of vacation. Tomorrow I have to drag myself out of bed and try to teach a group of kids who would really rather still be on vacation.

We got a lot of work done in the last week. Our kitchen has counter space, our kitchen table can be used for meals, our living room looks like a living room, and our bedroom is relatively uncluttered. I got a good start on my side of the office also though I still cannot see the desk.

But that is all over. I suppose today is a workday technically. I need to correct a bunch of papers that I intended to do a little at a time over the break. Road to Hell...

Last night we went to Hoa Mai for an end-of-vacation dinner. Halfway across the island we ran into a mess of flashing lights. We threaded our way through and went to eat. On the way home we were detoured off the road and up a steep hill, around and back down to the bottom. Wakana thought it might be an unexploded bomb. I thought it was a bad car wreck. According to the paper it was a collapsed culvert. That portion of the road will be closed for a week but the detour is still open.

That wouldn't be so bad except that the other route north is undergoing a very confused reconstruction. Traffic is heavy there too.

Note: This does not affect my morning commute. I work about a mile and a half from the house. Wakana has to go through the construction. Poor girl.
