sea-tac
our next load is a fedex. pick up at sea-tac airport deliver in oakland. (and of course the fresno load planner is on top of things, she has already sent us a reload in fresno to spokane.)
after getting caught up on laundry, we arrived 5 hours early hoping the load would be ready early but it wasnt so we had to hang out. the fedex terminal isnt really where the people terminal is but isnt that far to walk. so walk we did. it took about 30 -45 minutes to walk there.
funny things about airports. they are not designed for customers who arrive without a car. we had to walk on the side of the road and on the grass. while walking we saw the regular type of garbage thrown out on the car window. we did see a happy birthday balloon. all deflated and tangled up in a tree. i also found a pass port. i know! it was all wet, looked like it had been there at least a day or two. it was a female, born in washington state. (cant remember her name) so i picked it up. will told me not to. what was i going to do with it. turn it in to someone at the airport.
so we finally arrive at the airport. will is certain we will be held in tsa security for hours of questioning. i ask a baggage handler where security was, and he points me to the man wearing a blue shirt. well the man wearing the blue shirt was busy, but the lady wearing the blue shirt wasnt. i held out the passport and told her we found this on the ground and she said ok, thanks. and we went our separate ways.
we decide to eat something at the airport since really there wasnt any place else to eat anyway.
we can afford starbucks normally but to add airport prices gee whiz
$18.99 at the sea-tac airport buys 2 sandwiches and 1 soda. a little high but not as bad as we were thinking. we went to the rest rooms before walking back. and i realized i lost my lipstick. darn it. that was mary kay too.
walking back meant walking into traffic. but as we rounded a corner, i found my lipstick. yea. so taking inventory of our walk, we found a birthday balloon, a passport , and my lipstick. If only i had a candlestick , im sure i would have been found guilty of killing mrs. peacock in the library.
now we are back at the truck. just waiting for our pick up time. looks like im going to have to drive until 10pm. tonight. unless i want to drive into okland tomorrow. 10pm it is. we need to figure out the timing for these trip and see how many we could possible get a week.
im done reading the books i took. ann rule. (true crime). have a little faith, that was a quick read, very good. the monster of florance. another true crime story in florance italy. the judge is the same one that sat through the knox trail that just happened in italy. very interesting how italian justice works--or doesnt work rather. so i need another book. we are done with the sons of anarchy. season 1. and started watching 6feet under. i cant wait to get home i have a cross stitch project i can bring with me.
gotta take a nap.
love and miss you all.
