Safe trip home guys.

Bayonet Jr and I actually came home last night.  We got in around 11pm, but we made it.  Father's Day dinner at Bob Evans in Beckley WV, but it was a good day going home.

He was actually getting into the spirit of the after-action feedback with some ideas for the booth for next year.

I've been to Beckley. It's very likely that the two of you possessed the majority of teeth in the town while you were there. Good place to go rafting, though.

It sounds delightful.


Quiet you. You had a man kill himself trying to prove to his mates that his vest was "stab proof" by, yes, stabbing himself with a knife. I bet he was missing teeth, too.

Made it back! Driving down I-270 into DC is not as bad on Monday as it is on Sunday, but it is still bad.

My trip home was #2 all time worst on the suck scale.  I was dead stopped on I-65 in South Kentucky for 3+ hours due to a horrific wreck.  Probably at least one person died.  After 11+ hours on the road I spent the night in Athens, AL.  I had a very uneventful 4.5 hours trip on Tuesday morning home.

I've had one worse interstate trip in my life (omitting my car crash) in my life.
