January 21,  Storm stayed in Fishkill, New York

Yesterday, somewhere in Maine, we awoke to the sound of snowplows and salt trucks. By 9:30 the roads were clear, the sun was out and we got on the interstate. We motored along at between 50 and 55, while all the big trucks, and every other vehicle, sped by us. It is oddly comfortable and almost enjoyable to know one's limits and remain in the slow lane all day, especially since we have no deadlines to meet and no specific destination in mind....just somewhere warm! Today's forecast is for 6" of snow and it appears that the forecast is correct as there are already a couple of inches down and it is snowing steadily. We have decided to stay here again tonight as we have no desire to drive in these conditions. The highway cams reveal that a wise decision has been made. And so, it will be a great day to read, play scrabble, watch TV and plan tomorrow's route.

Ah yes...That IS Retirement. And that's when you realize everyone else is in the rat race.
