Three Good Things: 12-05-2006

Holiday Parties, A quiet afternoon, Getting home safely.
The company I work for had its holiday party today. We took a cruise on Lake Washington aboard the Royal Argosy. I brought my camera and took a bunch of pictures. Here are two of them.
The cruise was fun, and I had a good time taking pictures. The food was pretty good too.
After we got back from the cruise, the afternoon at work was fairly quiet. No emergencies. No rush jobs. That type of day doesn't happen all the time, and occasionally it's nice.
Things weren't all rosy in Washington though. On the way back from the cruise, we were riding our bus Westbound on the 520 floating bridge. As we neared Montlake, we noticed flashing red and blue lights in the Eastbound lanes. It turned out that there was a pretty serious looking fender bender. A state patrol car was leading a tow-truck with a car on the hook. The car had some serious looking damage. Another state patrol car was following along behind, pushing a car with its bumper.
I felt sorry for the people that had been involved in the accident, but grateful that it wasn't me. As I drove home for the evening, I was heading Southbound on I-5. In the Northbound lanes there was a tremendous backup, and several state patrol cars with flashing lights, a fire truck and ambulance and what looked like several cars that had been involved in an accident. Again I felt sorry for the people that were involved, and grateful that I wasn't one of them.
Drive safe out there people.
