After a long day of travel, wherein I was awake for 24 hours straight, I am home. I have slept for a few hours, and I'm very happy to be back.
Some random things I noticed on the trip:
- The new car showrooms in London are multi-story rather than spread out over acres.
- I saw the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II in the Chapel at Windsor Castle.
- I saw a commercial van that had this warning on the back: "No sushi kept in this van overnight."
- The cleaning folks at Heathrow Airport have their title on the back of their shirts: "Sanitation technician."
- Tesla cars are extremely popular in the UK.
- I like their road signs better than ours: "Queues likely" (ours: expect delays); "Give Way" (ours: yield) and so on. The streets in London often have "Look Right -->" and "<-- Look Left" painted on the road at the crosswalks to lessen the wiping out of tourists unaccustomed to drivers moving on the left side of the road.
- In mating season, the farmers put sacks with different color paint on the bellies of each ram, so that when they mate, they leave a glob of paint on the ewe. If the ewes "visited" by a particular ram don't bear lambs, that ram becomes mutton.
Time for a slow and gradual re-entry.
