It wasn't so bad

I was comfortable keeping it to a nice relaxed ~30mph. Going in to the gig and getting stuck behind someone on the highway going under 10 with his flashers on was a little irritating. LoL!...... but other than that it wasn't tooooo bad.

Coming home was better. The roads were a little better and it wasn't snowing. And I managed to muscle it over the plow ridge at the end of the driveway, no problem.

I go to Empire Blvd.


Geez, was going home the other day right when they were dealing with the poor woman who was murdered and thrown in the ravine.... Of course I didn't know at the time what had hapened but from al the cops and first responders that I could see right from the road, and the news vans all along the overpass, I figured it had to be something like this.

she had been a professor at RIT, too, though I never worked with her. So damn sad.

I was driving under the Tryon park bridge on 590 and saw the traffic then got home and saw the news report... very scary stuff. Rochester is a good city overall but there are a few bad eggs, as with any city.

When I go home I head south from RIT area on W. Henrietta and there is a big hill and it always causes some snow driving drama.

When I lived in Honeoye (not to be cornfuscalated with Honeoye Falls)

I just moved out to the flatlands this past August!!



Yes, the Tryon Park thing. She was 73 years old, for godsake.
