I think the title of this post says it all.  A 3.5 hour drive takes 6 hours.  I leave a hotel at 5:15am and am met with bumper-to-bumper traffic on I270.  There are few no-carb snacks to be had a gas stations.  Gas is 2.57 near the interstate – 5 miles later when I’m on a lesser traveled road it drops 20 cents a gallon.

If you were to look at the news today, you’d think that every police department in the country was hunting black people.  Bad things happen, but media magnifies it all way out of proportion.  On the positive side of that magnification is Donald Trump – who is really terribly entertaining as a political candidate, having absolutely no boundaries in his thoughts or actions.  Glad I’m not Lindsay Graham and don’t have to hunt (or have an assistant hunt) for a new cellphone number today.

Folks are tense at work and it looks kind of like Spring Fever – a restlessness.  I am getting some things done.  Not too many, but some.

Eldest grandson is visiting his other grandmother, other grandkids are doing a family event on their mother’s side so I have no obligations to speak of right now at home.

Today’s is the kind of boring existence I could use for about a month.
