It’s technically the 5th, but I’m home again from spending time with family over the Fourth of July. Saw plenty of nice American flags, a lot of family, and some amazing fireworks. Now I’m home, after having left early in the morning to beat the afternoon traffic through the Twin Cities. Reading an interactive AI novel on audio settings so I could talk to it the whole way. That kept my brain active so I didn’t have to stop more than a couple times for food, fuel, and bathroom breaks. It was a good drive, and even the road construction didn’t slow me down as much as it did on the way up. I’m happy to be home.
