My home is located in a spot convenient to the highway - until it isn't. As I left for an appointment 5 minutes away I realized the freeway westbound was a parking lot because of an accident near the highway entrance. So onto the frontage road and finally to the parallel road to head west, but just as the light changed to let me escape the neighborhood, the rail road bars came down for a long freight train and I had to again turn around and get to a bridge across the tracks. Past the high school out for lunch. 30 minutes later I was too late for my appointment. Ugg. At least I was next to the pet store for new collars and got gas or the trip would have been a total waste.

The score today is 50/50 for the things I planned and the things that fell through. I think I need a nap.

The SUV is looking good and I'll finish that vacuuming this afternoon.
