Another quiet day

Spent today working and dodging the Chusok traffic. Chusok is Korea's Thanksgiving/harvest festival. There are about 45,000,000 South Koreans; 40,000,000 of them hit the road over the Chusok holiday. Traffic, which is normally not great (driving from Seoul to Pusan, the length of the country, late at night, on a weekday, takes about 4 hours... during Chusok, that trip takes 24 hours on the same road), becomes a nightmare few can conceive of. With careful scheduling (travel at the high points of the holiday when the Koreans are at wherever they all went, but before they are on the road home) you can get around it, and actually have the clearest roads you'll see all year... Finished up the first season of "The Shield"; I'll be picking up the 2nd season for this weekend. My wife and her sister get back from Canada tomorrow, so I'll be traveling to the airport to pick them up... I could end up caught in the tail end of the bad traffic because we can't really tailor the flight schedule for traffic avoidance... Oh well, she's worth sitting in traffic for for however long it takes!
