2010 SEP 12 : SUNDAY (continued)
I have been trying to get something working on my computer network and success is eluding me. Arrrgh.

The Kai slept a long time this afternoon, undoubtedly due to illness. I had thought we might be able to visit Amanda during a break in her conference schedule, but he slept through her break.

Later, the Kai and I went off to a hardware and grocery store. Or at least I tried to go to Home Depot in SODO. I was approaching the West Seattle Bridge and thought I could take the exit to 4th Ave, but, not, the exit no longer exists. Oops. I had to go all the way to West Seattle before turning around.

I decided to take 99 north and then back to Home Depot, but there isn’t really an exit until Seneca Street downtown. I wasn’t too alarmed at this development, and one can’t beat the view on the viaduct.

Unfortunately, I had no idea that a football game was going on and traffic in the area flat out sucked. We ended up being trapped in traffic for a long time. I should have just gone to the Home Depot in West Seattle. Fortunately, the Kai was in good spirits.

We ended up going to Lowe’s on my roundabout way home and also stopped at Safeway again.

Our neighbors surprised me in the evening when they came to my door; I was thinking it was some evangelist of some persuasion. They had two kitties and wondered if they were ours, but I thought they might be our other neighbors, since I see them frolicking in their yard, but perhaps they are just strays.
