Day 41 - TRAFFIC

T2 and BIL1 both moved out of the Bay Area because of the traffic.  Yesterday I was ready to join them.  It rained hard which explains most of the problems we had, but getting to WC it took an hour and 15 minutes which is about half an hour longer then normal on the way home we listen to 2 discs of a BOT - to put it in perspective when we go to GV (140 miles) we sometimes listened to 2 discs if the traffic is really bad.

Drivers were really crazy, there was one driver who decided to drive in the middle of the line (like a motorcycle - splitting the lane) and surprising no one honked or seemed to have noticed.  I felt that I was in a Twilight Zone movie were I was the only one who was seeing the monster on the wing.   At the bridge when all the lanes merge the car next to us and wasn't giving us the lane so for a short time we drove two across in one lane.  TH was of course the more aggressive and the other finally fell behind.

When I was driving I was in the turn lane and I turned and the car next to me honked.  I kept telling Ted that I hadn't done anything and they weren't honking at me, but he said they were.  I couldn't imagine such a thing until he said that they were turning from the wrong lane and I cut them off.   Oh yea that is right it was my fault they were stupid.

So I will drive out to Rossmoor again today.  Alone.  If I don't come home look for me in the TZ.

  1. The *&%%%*(($## program ate my message.

    We walked 7.5 miles today & T3 didn't whine a bit even though the last 1.5 miles were rough on her - it was cold & we were walking against the wind. Thanksgiving & Shopping Friday will be our next long walks!

    T3 is right about the horrible traffic - 4.5 mile round trip to Rossmoor (usually 1.5 hours tops) - TH also went to THE CREEK earlier on Saturday, so he has 3 round trips in two days.

    T3 is excellent at getting TH to do what she wants, including provide chauffeur service - TH loves T3 & is glad to help.

    Donna is working hard on recovery & Princess Noor stole the hearts of all (except for the "sign in guy") at the Nursing Center & she would have stolen his heart except she kept leaping on the couch.

    7.5 miles this week; 5.5 last & 8.0+ next - the training continues!

    T' aka TH signing off!
