66 degrees in Warrington PA, Bucks County, with rain coming in.
Heavy traffic driving up today from Delaware where i had a nice stay with friends. Twice in one hour while driving in the middle lane of very heavy traffic, two trucks on my right just veered into my lane, I suppose/hope not seeing me. Twice I was driven right out of my lane and twice thankfully there was no one in the passing lane. It's like the area was making people crazy, so intent to get ahead they would drive over people to do it. Both times the Subaru was hitting its brakes automatically as I was, as I saw both of them start to move about one second before impact. No wonder I moved South, honestly NC drivers are much less aggressive. Once this happened near Wilmington DE and once near Philadelphia.
By the time I made the hotel I was pretty rattled. And the room was wrong, not what I asked for, and it took them almost an hour to get another acceptable room ready while I sat and read my Kindle. Nice room, worth waiting for, giant earthen berm taller than the building outside my window, totally blocking all road noise. Marvelous.
PJ, great joke, probably making us all laugh and particularly our own sheepherder.
Hotel internet free and works fine. 24/7 coffee and snacks downstairs, free breakfast, a Homewood Suites place, fairly cheap for the area but still nice. This trip I give my relatives and friends a break from yours truly.
Now if only I could dial in and see if my tractors are ok. I suppose I could install a live video camera...
