For some weird reason, on Google Map, the start (A) isn't the way I actually went, but;
I took 680 across the Benicia Bridge ($4.00 toll) to Sacramento and fetched documents for delivery to Fairfield. Before that I went to the printer and loaded a 450 pound pallet which I passed on to one of our trucks in Fairfield and while there picked up a 860 lb pallet of ink and delivered it so a printer in Fresno could work on their project all weekend. The pallets were handled by forklifts at the pick-up, exchange and delivery and, other than strapping them in place, I never touched them. I LOVE forklifts. Yaaaay tools!
And so, some business is still struggling along in spite of the economy.

*Saw an...OLDS!

*If he hit the brakes, I might be blasted off the road! LED lights. Yeah.
