One thing happened on the drive back home. About 10 miles from where I gave up. Still long lines of cars, of course, but at least for that stretch, moving. Headed for the coast, a Audi A-8...beautiful and fast car. Just shook my head, said to Cindy: "That poor bastard hasn't a clue what he's headed for."
To complicate things here in Oregon...money that could go into road improvement gets syphoned into Portland's light rail. A system I never use, but sure as hell get to help pay for.
Using the retirement art of crowd avoidance, I'm staying home today. That's pretty usual for us. Stay home on weekends, do our out and about things during the week, when most should be working. But even that doesn't work these days.
