Heck I might be able to get to my birth city for a visit. Columbus Ohio.
Ya gotta drive it like you stole it Sonny.
Actually, I do.
I call it Aggressive/Defensive Driving. I go just a smidgen faster, so I can get away from the brain dead drivers.
But their numbers are going up constantly.
So... I stay away from where they are causing the traffic jams, travel at night, or stay home and smile.
I'm always friendly with any officers I see, too. They have a target on them, the bad guys don't. And I never got a ticket I didn't earn 1,000 times over. Last time I went through a DUI stop it was a hot day. The officer asked if I'd have anything to drink today. I picked up my water bottle from the console and said, "Yes Sir! Water!" He laughed, and I offered him a frosty new bottle. He Thanked me, and pointed to an Ice Chest and said "I've got plenty." And waved me through.
Besides, I don't need to go, I have all these great friends doing that for me.
They even pay their own way!
I was watching the NASA TV feed. Their camera-person was an embarrassment at Madras, OR. Even I could have held the camera better. (And I know I suck at it.) We recorded that, the Weather Channel's broadcast (better), And ABC's with David Muir (Best). NASA needs to hire Pro's for the shows.
I got worried about you, so I went hunting. You must have gotten lost because I saw your Flicker Pages with the Orygone Coast. Very nice! I thought to myself, "Jim turned the wrong way and headed to the Ocean on his way home!"
It wasn't until I scrolled down a ways I found out you did actually get there.
Have a blast with the New Beastly CGEM. Looks like one heck of a deal with all the add-on's.
Don't break your back moving it around.
(Envy...)
Glad all went well and you're back home Safe and Sound!
