Oh, it was this week!

I'm waiting for toast to complement my protein breakfast shake then I'll warm up my coffee and be on my way for my 6+ hour driving loop down to Houston.  This time last week I was doing the same but it was the wrong week so that run turned out to be practice.  It was pouring rain last week and the power went out in Starbucks and all the rest of the breakfast places before I could get there.  This week it is only overcast with some rain likely and I'm not taking chances on anything but am drinking my breakfast here.  

Two-ish hours in a car with three unvaccinated kids ramps up my anxiety a little but I've gotten used to the idea and will likely not have them wear masks but I might keep a window cracked to be sure the air keeps moving.  I miss the smoker's triangle vent windows in the cars when I was young.  But I like air conditioning more.  The odds are so much in my favor I'm not really worried.  It is just a reflex.  

Round trip and I'll be back here before 2 and definitely ready for a nap.  I'm not used to being on a schedule so this messed up my sleep last night.  This and the soccer Austin FC vs Seattle Sounders game that was on until 10:30.  West coast games are always too late.  It was worth it.  Not a win but a tie with the best team in the league.  

Time for toast.

I'd totally forgotten about those triangular windows! It hadn't occurred to me they had smokers in mind but that does make sense. Hope you have a trouble-free trip!

I miss those little windows. I think the only car I owned that had them was my 67 Mustang, though.

I loved them. For some reason I've always needed air movement. My claustrophobia, I think. And at the time I smoked. So the perfect answer.

I owned a couple of cars with those vent windows. Hadn't given them much thought until NOW!

Driving to Houston and back. Grand kids? I must have missed the middle part. Heh.

Bon chance for the drive.

I volunteer for CASA. These are kids assigned to me. Their mother was/is a drug addict. Grandma was caring for them until she died from cancer then CPS picked them up and I've been helping a bit. I was transporting them back to foster home from a visit to what will be their adoptive home. It was a successful trip for them. The adoptive home looks like it will work out.

Ah. What a cool thing! Your heart is definitely in the right place, Bill.
