heading home

after a 5 day Christmas week visit to Bruklin it was time to drive back home..heading south.. a nice day pretty and sunny so only had to contend with the heavier than normal after-Christmas shopping traffic...saw a number of large contingents of Police  vehicles headed to the funeral of an NYPD cop in Queens, NYC... clear sailing down to Virginia.. a Sun-Dog in the late day sky...then good ol' Emporia.. backed down for 4+ miles because of a 2 car fender-bender..  just a heavy volume of traffic and 12+ hours later and touchdown.. good to be back home.. my memories of Bruklin and the way it used to be are always a lot better than being there these days..
