WFC, I AM HERE!

::pauses to pop an ibuprofen::

I split the drive over two days, which I think was a good move. I was beat by the time I made the crossing at Port Huron (So. Many. Semis.) and was so happy to spot the usual cluster of hotels just on the Canadian side.

Note: this morning’s breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had. The simple stuff is really easy to mess up and no mess-ups here. I mentioned it at the front desk and learned their chef has been there 25 years. I got the impression they’ve heard good things about her before.

That’s peameal bacon, which is very good stuff

Anyway, the Sheraton FP Edward Sarnia. Good Classic Breakfast.

Back to the drive. Good stuff: fall colors. If the trees in Michigan and Western Ontario haven’t reached full color yet, they’re close. Last night’s moon—not yet full but still huge. The biggest rainbow I have ever seen, a sky-spanning arc between Lansing and Flint. Brilliant red. I could even detect violet.

Bad stuff: the three crashes along the way. I didn’t see them, but they all happened on two-lane highways and the delays were significant. Today’s must’ve been really bad because a semi was involved and it was a wreck–the left front was stove in and the tire was shredded. I assume another semi was involved because of the extent of the damage, but it must’ve been towed by the time I reached the accident site.

More good stuff: first person I ran into at the hotel was Scott Zrubek, who I have not seen in years. He’s running the Art Show and I am looking forward to stopping by.

Tonight I need to time the story I am reading tomorrow, an SF horror piece entitled “Don’t You Love Me Anymore, Marie?” Not sure if I can finish it in 30 minutes (more like 25 with intro etc), so I need to determine a good stopping point. And I’ll see if I can register.
