My parents were married 72 years ago today. It was a hot day. I wasn’t there, but I heard it was. Happy anniversary memories to us all.
Michael and David rode their motorcycles up through Wisconsin to see us. We met Alexander for fish fry at Obb’s in St. Paul. I think we all really enjoyed the meal. We said good-bye to Alexander and headed for home. A couple miles into the trip, I realized we hadn’t taken a picture – either for posterity or for the potd. Another mile down the road we saw a sea of taillights. From all the flashing lights in the distance, it was an accident. A fire truck and ambulance, then several cop cars, passed us on the shoulder. We slowly went forward, talking about how people had to go so slowly to look and gawk. It turned out to be quite a mess, with 5 disabled vehicles and so, so many emergency vehicles. We threaded our way through and were immediately back to highway speed.
I took a picture.
