The back way...



Proof that I am trainable: when Joan asked what I wanted for lupper late this afternoon (lupper is the meal between lunch and supper), I said, "Porky's BBQ."  There was some discussion about the holiday traffic in town, but we can get to Porky's without getting on the main road through town.  We didn't want a repeat of yesterday's traffic scenario when riding the scoots back into town.

Easy to get to Porky's.  We watched as an orange Mustang tried to get out of their parking lot onto the main road.  It was still there, trying to get out, when our food was served.  Traffic was moving a few feet at a time on the main road, but no one was going to let the Mustang in.

On the bright side, the food was good - Porky's is our favorite BBQ, and it is a treat that we have it right here in town.  On the further bright side: it was all back streets to get back to our island.

A look at the current traffic report:




In the image immediately above, it may be hard to see, but the traffic coming onto the island is backed up all the way across the 2 1/2 mile long causeway... and through town and beyond on the other side of the causeway.

Glad we're not in that.
