Taking the long way home

The Lioness and I had to drive thru Albany to get home (~40 extra miles). A guy was threateningto jump of the Marion St Bridge in Salem. (He was there for at least 5 hrs) He hada noose tied around his neck and to the bridge. The Center St. bridge,right next to the Marion St Bridge, had a car wreck. Both were pretty much shut down. Normally we'd just take River Rd. home, but two different tractor-trailershad shut down River road by Jack knifing and the other getting stuck under a rail overpass. The Ferry (4 cars at a time) had its hours extended. I heardof one person taking 3 hrs to travel about 10 miles.
We showed up a little late for a get-together at the Pastor's house. A lot of people were there. Though I was pretty tired going into it, I had a goodtime (and a productive time). We didn't leave until ~10pm. The Lioness got to carry Allana around so they could meet her. I got to talk music with a few different people. It was a good evening. AND I ended up NOT having to work tomorrow... Politics is taking a weekend off.(I suspect it has to do with the birth a grandchild.... for the Speaker of the House)
