Hoping for kitty-mojo for all the sick ones and happiness for Boris kitty doing better!

The last Dodger whose name I'd heard of was Steve Sax, if it's any consolation.

Last Dodger game I went to we booed Manny in the outfield. Rodriguez? Maybe.

The last Dodger game I went to we were yelling MERKIN at the team.

We spent a good part of today on the 405 and it was not fun.

I had to be up at 7 after a very late night, so after the dog walks I went home for a power nap. That got us going down South a bit later than we would have liked, but we were still going to be within the time frame.....or so I thought.

Google Maps showed Green the entire way, so why the F were we at a standstill? It took us an hour to get out of Long Beach and another 1/2 hour to get to the point where we realized we would never make it there and back again and bailed. We finally found the multi-car accident and the muli-lane closure and, since we were almost at South Coast Plaza, we decided to have a meal there.

(Insert brief happy interlude of brunch and shopping.)

Back on the 405 to make it back to LB for a dog walk. More traffic, another multi-car accident, back up to speed, then a police break on the other side of the freeway so another multi-car accident could be moved to the side. At least the return trip was only a little over an hour.

Apparently, today was NOT a day for us to be traveling - or seeing friends and celebrating new abodes.

Google Maps traffic screwed us over recently as well. Such a bummer that we can't trust it anymore.

Based on my experience, Google Maps is accurate. For 20-30 minutes ago.

Same for Sigalert.com

Which leaves me to believe it is a Caltrans feed problem

I don't know if it all is, but a lot of Google Maps traffic information is supposed to be real-time generated based on cell phone data.

I just peeked into his and Tori's room, and he was snuggled up next to her and purring- not snoring. He's still nasally, but it's way way better, and he's finally eating some food. Her room is a sauna, with the humidifier going 24/7, but it's made a world of difference. I'll be sure to let you know what the vet says, and I truly appreciate your kind words.

Pru- so glad your Boris is doing well! It's such a relief, isn't it? Our Boris is hanging in there as well!

My ex-sister-in-law, with whom I was never close, just sent me a Friend Request on Facebook. I haven't talked to her in more than two years. I know I don't have to accept it. But it is just so weird. Why would she do that?
