to go the last thirty miles home.

Construction brought three lanes to two, but under ordinary circumstances this is not an issue of any kind. Last night, of course, because the roads were predominantly populated by illinoisians, all of whom drove, predictably, right up to the merge, instead of merging two miles back when they were warned to do so. And then of course they got in accidents. In the hour and a half we saw a dozen non Illinois plates- the other several thousand were the problem; all these morons coming home from their Michigan cottages. Hoosiers ought to put a bounty on them.

Back to work today. I will be in a miserable mood for about three weeks, and the the Oglet gets packed off to university. That will CERTAINLY help things.
