The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Good morning all, a bit chilly around here but the rains have stopped for now. I guess they're having mercy on all those out-of-state football fans that are here for the big game tonight. The Cardinal's stadium is just a few miles down the freeway from us and we tend to stay off that freeway during any football game, freeways are bad enough on a normal day, but on game day....forgetaboutit..... Traffic is bad enough around here and soon it'll be baseball and spring training, that's when the surface streets get backed up. In a few months it's going to be even more fun when they shut down a major intersection for eight months while they build an overpass. We need that overpass, especially since it will go over the BNSF tracks (which really cause long traffic backups all day), but they haven't given us a clue as to where they're going to route the traffic during that time, especially since you have to cross the tracks if you're heading east. Even then, it'll take them close to another year after the roads reopen to finish the project. I look to pull out of my driveway to get in the line that's backed up to there in order to just get on one of those roads since those are the only two that can get you out of town.

We are still unpacking, trying to pace ourselves to two or three boxes a day. I saw a box labeled, "train room" yesterday. It was on the bottom of a stack and probably has my structures in it. I wonder how many of them got crushed after the movers piled boxes of books on top. :o It's still going to be a good year before I can get back to modeling, but there's hope and a spare room I can use when I do....
