It's Just a Thursday
I'm in Atlanta this week, and thanks to Google maps, am staying at a hotel not far from where I'm training. Distance here in Atlanta is immaterial - the map told me I do not have to get on a highway to get from point A to point B.
At about 4:45 PM yesterday afternoon when class was done, I got in my car, drove about half a mile to the on ramps to 285, and traffic was completely stopped on 285 in both directions. The on-ramps were backed up, and there were cops directing traffic at the (functioning) traffic lights.
Fortunately I went through all that stuff, and took a right turn just past it and was at my hotel in about 10 minutes.
Ten minutes to go one mile in Atlanta at that hour of the day is just fine with me.
On the trip horizon, I've got Austin coming up, and Orlando, and a much-anticipated vacation to Bonaire in July. Shea is working on her open water certification currently, so she will, like I did get her scuba baptism in Bonaire, and thus likely be spoiled for life for that kind of diving. (Shore, not drift.)
I wonder if she'll like the six-foot tarpons that swim along side you at night using your flashlight beam to find their food.
A little scary at first, but the fish gotta eat too.
We'll see.
For now it's time to get to work.
