Traveling for work. Location: Roswell, GA
So this 19 y.o. kid and his 18 y.o. wife are on their way down to Gunter for their first assignment, when they get rear-ended by some lady in Dalton, Georgia. Their car is totaled, and they have some back & neck pain, so we have to go pick them up. Not to get started on a completely unrelated rant on how stupid military contracting is, but our Government vehicles are Leased. There is a policy restricting them to a 75 mile radius around base, because otherwise the base would be competing with local businesses. EXCEPT they are LEASED, we are already renting them from a local dealership!!!! We had to provide justification to get a waiver so that we could take a van down to get them and their belongings, and by 3pm, we still hadn't gotten it. We just told the kid to get a hotel room, and we'll pick them up on Saturday. So, I'll probably be leaving with one of my co-workers around 830-900 tomorrow morning to go to Roswell or thereabouts to gather up our wayward chicks. I'm making sure to stop by Pappasito's for lunch, unfortunately, without margaritas or cervezas.

Sorry we missed you while you were so near. Thomas was out on a motorcycle trip and I was wedding dress shopping. Hopefully we can meet up next time you're in town.
