Default Lunch

I had to go by the bank at lunch so I made a little 20 minute "detour". I found a good backroad with no traffic and lots of curves and just cruised around. Its cold outside but the sun is up and it was beaming through the roof. I had the Eagles on the CD player. That sure makes coming back to work hard but it makes the day soooo much better!

I would be doing that here too, but the DANG Salt trucks dumped a chit load of salt Friday/Saturday when it snowed, but it is dry and sunny now.

Nothing like a little fresh air and some spirited driving to get you through the post lunch time period.

Yep there is something natural about cranking up the Eagles CD and cruising in America's sports car. If I could do that AND cruise by the ocean like you did I would probably have to go to the bathroom and clean myself up!
