susandennisI decided to make a lunchtime jaunt to Costco... pick up some flowers, check out mattresses and get a hot dog or a pizza slice for lunch and come back home. There's a baseball game tonight but it's not til 7 so I figured I was safe.
Wrong! All of the runners in tomorrow's race have come to the 'hood to get their credentials. They don't know where to park. They are stopping in the street. All the street vendors are madly trying to unload their trucks so they can set up and take advantage of the situation. The race people are unloading bottled water and portapotties (the ins and the outs will obviously be covered)...
I pulled out of the garage and got half way down the street in about 15 minutes. It was clearly going to be another 15 or more to get to the corner. I peeled off, turned around and came right back home. Nothing I want at Costco is worth that hassle. I could have probably gotten out but maybe never back home again...
So trip cancelled. No biggie. I have the rest of that poached chicken that will make a lovely sandwich for lunch. the rest can wait.
