Nelson DeMille

Going to work this morning, I noticed how the little bypass road that I usually take is starting to be developed heavily. Up until now, it’s always just been mostly farmland and a couple of big “estates” — you know, those fancy houses with two stories and a _huge_ front yard. There’s always been a tiny bit of development going on — a few strips of stores, a single subdivision, etc.

Lately though, the level of development has stepped _way_ up.

(At this point, I had a lot more written about this point, including how allusions to Nelson DeMille’s book “The Gold Coast” and everything, but I lost it. Don’t worry how. Just believe me that it was great.)

My weekend’s going to be busy, but at least I don’t have to travel anywhere, except to the local Wal-Mart to get enough oil for oil changes for all three of our cars, and maybe Autozone for some spark plugs, and maybe Daylight Donuts for some, well, breakfast.
