Aug. 17th, 2009 03:32 pmFantastic time. I'll tell you all about Days 3 and 4 later. Right now, I need some sleep.
P.S.: If you heard anything on the news about a nasty pick-up truck/jackknifed semi accident on Northbound I-69 about 30 miles north of Fort Wayne... I wasn't involved. But it did happen about a half-mile in front of me, and I got within less than a quarter-mile. Basically, the pick-up, which was full of pallet, caught on fire, which freaked out the semi driver. Huge puff of black smoke, and then more smoke and flames all over the highway. Pallets all over, too. About a dozen emergency vehicles. And then it started raining. Hard. Very impressive, though -- they got the injured out of there and cleared a lane within 45 minutes.

acelightning points out that the correct spelling is pallet, not palette, unless it was for a really really big painting.
