Happy Friday, all.

I just don’t understand why people can’t drive in a torrential downpour. Or at least a little more carefully. Fortunately, I was only on a shut-down Interstate for about 10 minutes before we got moving again. I knew when that truck went by me going at last 70 there would be trouble.

The little chocolate beggars created a bit of a traffic jam-up getting out of Jersey City, but they were all washed away by the storm by the time I got home. My daughter said there was a shooting during the festivities in her area and some kids were witnesses. No kids were hurt, but she’s expecting a rough class today due to traumatized 5th graders.

Best wishes to your daughter and all affected.

And happy Friday!

DP and Da Bill are going to Savannah to run, or to hang out if they decide they’re not up to running. Apparently neither of them has been training much.

We’ll have to leave about 12:15 this afternoon to get to the farm where we’ll study soil. I like soil.

Happy Friday, Argee.

Diving in the rain requires good tyres and Tarmac that grips the tyre not the other way around. The dept of transportation did a lot of work on this in the 60s hence the cheese grater like surface on most of our roads. NZ uses the same principle.
