I woke up at 6:00 this morning, hit the road by 6:30, and made it to work well before 8:00. With all the fatal traffic accidents on US-6 during the past week, I’m glad traffic was light this morning.
I went into work because our entire department was going to lunch, and I didn’t want to miss out. We went to Tucanos, which has a bizarre way of serving your food, but the food was excellent. Every couple of minutes a server would bring out a different type of meat, vegetable, or fruit, all grilled on a metal skewer, and you can simply take your pick of what you want and how much. The salad bar was nice too, with green, pasta, and seafood salads, and everything you could want to go with them.
Work itself went by surprisingly fast. I got a lot accomplished, which doesn’t happen much when I’m in the office because I usually end up chatting with people who I don’t see often.
After work, I stopped at Sam’s Club to fuel up the car. $2.09 for regular unleaded! I think it’s still above $2.40 here in Price. After fueling up, I headed home, but stopped to find a cache at the Moark Junction. I tried finding the same cache earlier this year, but I just couldn’t find the damned thing. I almost gave up again today, but I finally found it a ways off from the listed coordinates. I get frustrated with caches like this one–just dumped in some random bushes along the side of the road. I got to add another number to my count (I’m up to 241), but I’m not sure it was worth 30 minutes of my time.
Gas prices are dropping here in SoCal also, though the lowest I’ve paid lately was $2.53 or so. Was up to over $3 a few months ago.
