Seattle Traffic Ugh!

We had dinner with Jason in Seattle this evening.  About 25 miles outside the city, there was a sign that said 85 minutes to Seattle.  We were moving along at the speed limit, so I thought the sign was a mistake.  It wasn’t.  About 8 miles outside the city we slowed to a crawl.  We could have walked faster.  It’s probably typical traffic for Seattle.  It is not my cup of tea.

We took the dogs for a walk on a rails-to-trails.  They are trails built on old railroad beds.  I love them.  We did about 4 miles round trip.  We planned to go further, but it got hot today and the dogs were wilting.  It’s supposed to get even hotter through the week-end, so we may have to get our hikes done early in the morning or do something else.  (I know my friends and relatives in Maryland are dealing with exceptionally hot temperatures so I don’t expect any sympathy from them over our little heat wave.)

There is a several casinos around here.  Maybe I’ll be a big spender and drop a twenty on the slots and see what happens.  It beats the heat!
