Have you ever heard it said that
if something can go wrong, it
will?
Well, it wasn't
that bad [for us at least], but it struck me today that literally
each time I've been out to Illinois to visit, some sort of obstacle materializes and challenges my determination to get there. Today it was an overturned semi lying across both lanes of the highway, just across the OH/IN state line. The good news, I heard later on, was that the driver was okay [contrary to the rumors from other bystanding OTR'ers that he'd had a heart attack, etc.]

| yikes. :( |
We waited, parked with vehicles off, for almost three hours. At one point, I spotted a group of people throwing a football, others doing cartwheels in the grass, and someone tailgating in the bed of a truck. We bade our time by picking flowers.

There's nothin quite like a road-side flower patch. Haha...
They finally righted the truck and dragged it out of the way; we were fortunate to have been just 10-15 cars behind the actual accident so we skirted through in no time. From there, it was smooth sailing aside from the forever on-going road construction on the other end of Indiana... but we
finally made it!

Paul, Kalyn & I played together on a team with Tim back at Grand Sands a few years back and wound up winning the league, as team Sandy Weenis. For those of you somehow unfamiliar with what a weenis is.... it's your outer elbow. I don't know why that was the first place we went with our team name then, but it worked and was kinda funny.
