Had a terrible, horrible, very bad day - despite getting to see tricksterquinn and her new house of awesome - involving a truly demented GPS and some very horrible roads.  And no phone service.  And getting home to find the obituary of one of my high school classmates in my email inbox.

One the very slight uptick, the GPS routing me through the back roads of Hell meant that I got to see cows, and horses, and BEARS!  Mama black bear and two cubs standing on the side of the road and contemplating crossing.  Very cute.

I'm going to run away and join the circus now.
