10/26: sleeping over

I had an early morning doctor's appointment in Little Rock, and I decided to drive down and stay in a hotel last night so that I could have the first appointment of the day and wouldn't have to worry about getting caught in traffic.  It was such a good thing to do:  as I was driving home after my appointment I saw that the traffic in the opposite direction was backed up, and I'm glad that I didn't risk being part of that, fretting about whether I'd make it to my appointment on time.
