4.276 return

Sunday 09/03/2023

At 9am, Jan called to say that he and Paul had decided it would be a good idea to return today. So about 10:15 we were back in Jan’s Prius Prime, and off to the Bay Area. I-80 West was closed for the whole weekend, so for both trips we crossed used I-5 and 680. On today at least, there was no problem with increased traffic, just a minor slowdown in Hayward. So home by 1pm.

I took a short nap and then headed out to FOPAL. This is the pre-sale week (this seems to come around much more often than monthly) and I wanted to get my section tidy and ready for the sale today, since I had been gifted with an extra day. That leaves Monday free to catch up with things for Channing House.

Had supper at a “community table” and was joined by among others, George, who felt like talking about his days in government. He worked directly for Robert McNamara, and then was sent to Viet Nam to manage US Aid programs there, just in time for the Tet Offensive and the collapse of the US war effort.
