Jaime said she would not have classes today
or tomorrow and
could I come get her?
but she would need to return on
Saturday as she has tickets
to see a play.
An hour and a half is not that far
But gas prices are outrageous.
Perhaps I could just spend a
few nights in Ashland.
Richard said it was okay.
We prayed about our decision.
John Mayer did not reveal a
promising forecast - though
yesterday did seem more driveable
than it is currently.
I went and got my hair done yesterday
and was talking to my hair dresser
who also advised against driving down
with all those mountain passes to go through.
What mountains?
I'm from Utah.
Those are just hills.
Snow is/was in the hills.
It melts pretty quickly.
Too cold to snow.
But not too cold to freeze.
And it has rained.
I could slip on ice.
Or another car could slip
into me.
So many drivers seem to be
in a hurry.
I wouldn't be in a hurry.
I would be hitting every rest stop
between here and Ashland
the way I had hit
every rest stop between Myrtle
Creek and the Young Women's
camp that was located outside of
Eugene. I made it there
Surely I could make it to Ashland.
But it was better weather when I had
retrieved Jaime from camp back in
2019 (here). It was in June - before
the outlandish weather that seemed
to come along side the pandemic.
Both Jaime and I were looking forward
to the possibility of my coming for a visit.
The warning signs are there.
The answer was "No"
at least this time around.
