today's pictures

west! always west now. it feels so much more natural. even the
Jefferson County Democrats' office is on the west side of Fairfield...I
smiled and quietly wished them luck as I passed.
20 minutes later, I'm stuck just east of Ottumwa...construction, I guess,
but we've been sitting here entirely stopped for more than five minutes
while traffic trickles past in the other direction. I can't see far
enough ahead to figure out what's up.
wow, some guy in a safety jacket is walking back and telling each driver
what's up.
ah, turns out it's a bad accident, and the cars I've seen heading the
other way were people who turned around. it's starting to rain a bit.
I should take some pictures.
