It all makes sense now...
I went down about 10 minutes ago to see my mother's progress. She's about ready! But, of course, my dad took the vehicle we plan to make the trip in, to AutoZone to repair a burnt out left turn signal. I have a severe problem with the lack of readiness of my parents for a 250+ mile trip. I warned its almost 8 o'clock (both of us knowing its well past 9:00), and I was promptly informed that she told my brother-in-law on the phone that we were planning on leaving at 8 o'clock in the morning. He immediately responded with, Hawaiian time? You can see why I like my brother-in-law so much, he's a spitting image of me when I'm 26, except I won't marry my sister.. Hmm.. Weird thought, anyway, I project an actual departure time, of the family being packed, and the car pulling out of the driveway toward the I-215 at roughly 10:15. I have 30 minutes to kill... What to do...
