No GPS!?!

This morning it was very foggy. I was surprised because I have only experienced that much fog on the coast or in the middle of a Fairbanks winter. The fog blocked satellite communication with the GPS. I had actually decided to not worry about the GPS because I knew where I was going and basically how to get there. Later I realized it was not working anyway.

Spencer and I ran errands ending up at Costco. He really liked the kitchen supply store btw. It had a plethora of fascinating items. I gave him a tray and some small pitchers and he was happy the entire time I browsed. At 11:15 we left Costco in a big hurry (more like a slight panic), as Molly needs to be picked up at 11:30. I realized I could easily get us back to her school, but I was not at all confident I could do it in a hurry.

I looked down and lo! The GPS was finding satellites (eight to be exact.) Then I realized it was sunny. Am I already accustomed to the constant presence of the sun? I think it's because I still think we are on vacation. We have been on longer vacations, so maybe when we move out of the hotel and can count our time here in months and years, instead of days and weeks. So, what I am saying is maybe when it's no longer vacation, I'll get sick of the sun? Hmm. Well, to be honest, I might. It's still a long way out.

I arrived at Molly's school right at 11:30.

Derek sez: I probably could have used the GPS today. My first attempt at driving back to the office from FDOT central involved a 5-10 minute detour while I discovered that not all Meridian Drives are the same. Some take you about 3 miles out of your way as you're trying to hurry to eat lunch and check your email.
