I’m not sure what was wrong with everyone on my way home today but there was some crazy driving action going on in the city. The interstate was fine. Perhaps yesterday’s monsoon forced everyone to behave on the roads so today everyone freaked.
When everyone else is acting like a jackass on four wheels, I tend to chill way out. I looked at the way the light was in the sky and checked out some of the trees along the road. It looks like the end of summer is sneaking up on us. Just little clues…height of the sun, leaves a little less dark green. Things like that.
I was a mellow fellow until I was less than five minutes from my house. I’ve taken a dislike to Dan Robert’s A Moment in Time (a locally produced historical segment played on our public radio station–I think it is also syndicated). I used to love listening to the stories but now I’m over it.
As some of you may know, 2007 is the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown. I’m getting pretty tired of Jamestown appearing everywhere and I’m really bummed that the standard VA license plate is a Jamestown plate so I have to have one on my car. Anyway, Dan Roberts started talking about Jamestown. My chill stopped and I slammed the radio off. Jamestown, 400 years, blah, blah, blah, blah.
