San Antonio Really needs to work on its drainage issues

What a morning ! We left the house on time (GASP ! ) because I figured with the storms last night traffic would be horrid. So we get thru the neighborhood, one low water crossing was flowing fast but thankfully the water had receded from the road. Interstate 35 was eerily empty. so we made great progress from New Braunfels to Randolph AFB. Dropped Kelly off about 7:40 which gave me 50 minutes to get JR to Fort Sam Houston. Easy Peasy. WRONG !

Started on our way. Ran into a traffic jam. Ah I know a shortcut. DAMN ! Forgot there is a low water crossing involved and it was closed, water flowing through it. So I turned around to go back. We sat there for 45 minutes !!!! I called JR's supervisor the first time and said we might have a chance to still make it, but after 30 minutes I called back and said no way.

So JR ended up going to bowling with me. Thank goodness for the Netflix app on my Nook. Dropped him off at school after bowling was over.

We sure needed the 3+ inches of rain we got but UGH those low water crossings need to go !!!!
