Yesterday evening the weather decided to give us a bit of rain on top of the cold that is still sticking around. Â That made for a very cold trip back home. Â I don’t mind the cold temperatures, but once you combine them with either wind or rain things start to get miserable fast. Â Luckily, our house was warm and toasty by the time we arrived.
A couple of good things happened last night. Â We booked two more hotels for our trip, and also the Honda dealer returned our car. Â They had taken it overnight for a routine maintenance check (leaving us with another car) and they delivered it back to us last night. Â The service of coming to your house to pick up the car and returning it the same way is very convenient, especially for us as we’re both working. Â Thanks, Honda.
Yesterday at work I had a chance to go out on the factory floor to listen to one of my students explaining an important point of the new prototype Washington Metro cars that they are building. Â The customer is in town to inspect them, and so some of my students have to do some explanations in English to the customer. Â My role was to pretend to be the customer and help my student practice what he was going to say and show. Â I think it went OK, actually. Â And it was interesting to work around the brand new trains.
That’s about it – off to work again.
