The Mother Unit and I had a helluva road trip downtown yesterday just as the monsoon decimated the roadways around the UofA.
Holy shit!
I had to go drop off some coffee to Crooked Tooth Brewing so they could consider using our coffee in a brew. It was a harrowing trip to get there. But nothing compared to trying to get away from downtown with flooded underpasses and streets that had white water flowing denying passage.
Did I forge through the white water anyhow? With my sweet 83-year-old mother in the car? Did I attempt this after watching several people consider it and u-turn away from these road rapids?
You know the answer...
Yup.
We plowed through and sped off and away back to the northeast side. I won't say it was easy or super smart. But I did it and it wasn't as bad as it was prior to our parking and doing the ol' wait-and-see.
And the early morning drive home yielded this:
Home in time to put out the trash, and making more coffee because... it's coffee!
Start the day with a good attitude is the mantra.
