Here it is Friday night and I am trying to think of ideas for a post.

It has been a long week, but thankfully it is the weekend now.

The week started out with me teaching a class and preaching a sermon on Sunday morning. See: Sunday Morning Images

After services we went to lunch along with some of our visitors.  We went to a nice Mexican restaurant and I had a nice lunch of Carne Asada. Fortunately the preacher didn’t speak too long and we got there before the restaurant filled up.

On Tuesday my students came back to class after lunch talking about a fire. There was a large grass fire north of our building so I went out and took a picture.

You can see here that the East County Hall of Justice is slowly taking place. Click here to see what it looked like a couple weeks ago.

Traffic has been horrible almost every day this week. One of the main routes between the Central Valley and the Bay Area is closed for two months and is jamming up the other alternate routes.

The traffic was so bad on Wednesday night that my traffic app routed me onto Tesla Road which turns into Corral Hollow. As I got close to 580 on Corral Hollow there was an overturned car. The accident must of just happened as the driver was just climbing out.

There were plenty of people helping and it looked like no one was seriously hurt so I continued on.

The first part of the week was very hot with temps in the triple digits, but a front started moving through on Wednesday night bringing some clouds and lower temperatures.

There was a beautiful sunset on Wednesday night and the temps have moderated yesterday and today.

Wednesday and Thursday were also spent monitoring the progress of my brother’s team as they were Paddling across Missouri.

I did get a reprieve from traffic this morning as it took about 25 minutes less than the other days this week to get to work.

The trip home tonight was just as long or longer though.

I am glad to see the sun set on this week so that I can get some rest over the weekend before another long week begins.

Now to get to work on my Sunday morning class 🙂
