late slacking

So a zillion things. I finished potter at like 5 tonight, then went out to get dinner. Dinner was good, though as it was vietnamese (pho specifically) it was a test as usual in finding things on the menu that I actually liked. It also included iced coffee, which is the 'traditional' kind which is a little stainless brewer that sits atop a glass and drips for about 10 minutes into condensed milk. Good stuff, though rather strong, especially since it makes like 2 oz of coffee, which is mixed with 2 oz of condensed milk, and then I pour it into a full glass of ice. It also points out how its difficult to do something tactfully if you don't know which end is up, like mixing in the ice while holding the empty filter and still needing an extra hand.

I got stuck in a 1 1/2 hour traffic jam friday morning. Oh well. Its the worst one I've been in so far, so I can't complain too much. I got to listen to the radio at 7:30, and then 8, and then a bit of 9, which was interesting since usually all i hear are blips about what is going on then, that I'll never be able to hear. (The vague cause was 2 lanes of I-90 were closed due to line painting I think, then there was an accident, which probably was related to the lane closure, so that left 1 lane out of 4 open. Even if its the wrong direction for rush hour traffic, 1 lane instead of 4 makes a big mess) I probably should have cut my losses and gone on local streets, but I didn't think it'd take an hour and a half to go 2 miles. Oh well. I did manage to average 11mpg then (for reference I usually get 29 or so)

I think there are other things to disuss, but its hot in here and air conditioned elsewhere, which is good enough for me to say its time to get going.
