Not a good drive home tonight. Stopped to visit the goodwife, an elections inspector running a polling place today, else I'd have missed it all. And was almost there when it happened -- big rig with trailer, hauling dirt or gravel, lost (some of?) its brakes coming down the hill where I live onto the highway. Smashed into a large SUV, killing the driver instantly.

You just never know when...

I passed the scene of a fatal wreck on I-80 over the weekend.

After some deliberation, I said:

It may not seem like an act of heroism to say, “I’d like to party with you guys into the late hours, but I’ll be traveling tomorrow, and I need to be rested.”

... but it is.
