At least for me. And I expect to have thunderstorm cells moving through Houston, pummeling some people and ignoring others. Like yesterday and the previous weeks. I can’t remember weather quite like this in the last 20 years.<\/p>\n
I had a frustrating day Friday. The weather clobbered me a couple of times, leading to slowdowns and wrecks on the highways. On a day with as much driving as I was supposed to have, that really blew my schedule. Fortunately, I didn’t wreck, although there was one near miss at a traffic light. Google maps put me right into several slowdowns, one lasting 20 minutes. I got out a book and read. The last one I should have ignored and gone my own way. I’ve tried to beat google’s directions many times, but only done it once or twice. Yesterday probably would have added a couple more wins for me. It couldn’t have been much worse.<\/p>\n
The upshot is I couldn’t even try to get 3 of my pickups. I’ll shift one to Monday but the two at opposite ends of town will both have to happen today, after my hobby meeting. At least it’s good stuff. <\/p>\n
This morning, I’m off to spend time in meatspace with my fellow hobbyists. Get out there and engage with the world around you. It’s a good counterbalance to the black pill online doom and gloom, and a good reality check. <\/p>\n
Stack stuff too, of course…<\/p>\n
