Long traffic delays taking the old 787 heading north out of the city. Traffic is heavy but moving south bound. Crazy bus driver will get us through the traffic quickly, even if means using the shoulder or the gore. Lots of crows flying around downtown. Generally a nice evening. Skies are kind of a pinkish color to the east with blues up ahead and yellows to the west. Kind words pretty.
