The cats are doing okay. No vomit or anything (at all, which is a little worrying) in their carriers. Boris did pee on the rug piece in his carrier this morning. But the trip to Petco was to pick up those doggy pee-pads. We've put them down the the carriers, which seems to work fine.

PA and VA are so pretty to drive through.

Sang my way threw RENT! and RHPS soundtracks while driving.

Time to crawl into bed.

Hopefully we'll get to Memphis tomorrow in time to visit Graceland.

Did you drive along any of Skyline Drive or the Blur Ridge Parkway, by any chance?

The car that didn't slow down to let the tracker-trailer pull into the lane, causing the trailer to do that swearvy-breaking thing, leaving track marks and the smell of burning rubber.

Just out of interest why is it the car's fault and not the tracker-trailer (not sure what one of them is) for driving too fast so he had to break like that?

Athene's been living in Massachusetts so long she thinks "Yield" means "Accelerate".

because when the car saw the truck put on his blinker, he spead up so it couldn't get in front of him.

Ah, OK. SO it wasn't so much that he didn't slow down as he actively accelerated to block...
