September 20 - Ohhh, a silver lining!

September 20 – dammit, last train was at 20:30 last night. Hasn't been one since, and it's after 8 in the morning. It's only an hour or so to Minooka from here, my appointment is at 10:30 mountain time, so I figure I'll leave in about 45 minutes or so...

Aw, crap. That accident last night burned the hour or so I'd planned on using to get to my next load. Now I'm stuck in this town all day. Illinois. Temps in the 80s. Humidity in the 80s. And NO FRELLING BOOKSTORE!!! I'm in hell.

Yup, Hell it is. Gas station a few hundred feet away – where I'd figured to grab some water and munchies before I left – closed up shop at 23:00. On a Saturday. This is on the high side of annoying.

The only good news is the temp is waay down. Low in the 50s tonight, and high in the 70s (not that I'm gonna be here)

I suppose it's a small price to pay, though. Cubs clinched the division today. Muahahahahah. Now, if they can just take the pennant. I'm not asking for the series, though that would be cool. Just go TO the series. The good news, in that regard, is that they should have home-field advantage all the way through- last I looked,they had the best record in baseball.
