Sunday October 25
After the best night’s sleep on the road yet, had breakfast
and had a most enjoyable chat with Jane the inn keeper, who was super nice.
Once I got on the road (late), Google started fritzing: first it sent me down
backroads for 25 miles (along which I saw two accidents and emergency crews –
very slippery roads). Then, after finally letting me get on I-59 S it told me
to get off again, and I realized we had different objectives.
I got back on I-59 but now it couldn’t see me at all. First
I thought I might be in a dead zone, but as the exits kept going by the dead
zone was getting the size of Mississippi. When it started raining in earnest it
finally clicked that the storm was blocking the GPS signal so I just drove like
it was 1999, following road signs. By the time I was driving over the causeway
with nothing around me but bad weather I started wondering if this was one of
those times when my self-preservation instincts had failed me.
But it didn’t get worse, and once I was in the city and
moving slower it was easier to see, and although Google couldn’t see me it
still had the city maps, so I found Lauren’s without too much trouble.

| Baby Finn |
She and Alex were in the studio with baby Finn, getting
started on some printmaking. Alex’s cousin Larissa was babysitting Nino (6) and
Juliette (3), and Rosa and Piggie were moving about the double shotgun. A full
house indeed (and that doesn’t even count the two now outdoor cats.)
