Leo,
You spend way too much time tied up in traffic. Your narrative is spot on and I and others like me look forward to when you can join us.... on the other side.
Toni and I enjoyed a fun 4 days in San Antonio two years ago, you live in a lovely city.

"Traffic Snarls" are exactly what changed my life significantly. After living in Montana as a kid, going away to college, then military, I somehow ended up working for a bank in Los Angeles..... 
It didn't take too many years to know that I had to find a better life. So, I purchased property in Wa. State, and after the purchase was completed, I got so "ticked off" (to put it rather mildly) at the traffic one morning that I said...."I'm outta here!
In three months I found myself in Washington, briefly logging until I found a new career and a new personally rewarding niche in life.
That being said, thanks to "traffic snarls" my life was vastly improved!
So I guess traffic ain't all bad.

And the traffic followed you! Marysville, Arlington, Lake Stevens, Smokey Point! Hightway 9 used to be so sleepy in the 1960s!

Pat,
With just 1,648 days left you had better give those people you work for some notice and, wait a minute, 1,648 days is like December of 2013!!!! I think young Austin could attend a few summer sessions so the old man could at least retire in the summer so we can plan a gathering/retirement cruise. |
