Picking up Jack

I took off at noon on Thursday to pick up Jack. It was an easy ride into the city. I was there a little early and had to circle Bush and Pine a couple of times before he got off work.

The drive back was a slog; everyone was trying to get a headstart on the holiday weekend. Leaving his apartment about 2:30 pm, it took us 3 hours and 15 minutes to get back to Carmichael.

We had an interesting encounter with a Waymo at my least favorite intersection in San Francisco: Bush and Battery. It was having a difficult time figuring out how to turn right and head across Market. I read an article several years ago about how it is going to be possible to bully driverless cars.

Waze routed us a way that I had never been before. It sent us north on 113 to Woodland, but had us continue on to northbound 5. We got off an exit north of Woodland and looped around to southboud 5.

ugh. There and back, it was almost six hours in the car...
