Despite oversleeping (10AM alarum, clicky button, wake 1400) I accomplished todays major objective with aplomb, aside two minor tactical errors, both easily corrected. Having left the site, where I got only some reading done due to seemingly obligatory smalltalk with the occupant of the waiting room, an insurance salesman by trade and walked away freely, the entire meager costs being covered by coupona d warranty.. I rolled a few feet downhill to a Japanese restaurant, where I lazed for around two hours, enjoying some nigiri, tea, soup, and even some sherbet and reading a swath of the new Gibson novel Spook Nation (more about which is forthcoming). I made some interesing cultural inferences there as well.

Leaving there finally at about 19:30 (?) I headed west, quite deliberately avoiding the highway. I proceeded in this manner well into Conyers, wherein i met with my first minor tactical problem (viz. Flat Shoals ceases to be, effectively, some few blocks west of the monastery) and had to back track a few blocks, turn north and find my way back to a west-bound road. And as I made my way north and west my second difficulty presented, and shortly I found myself navigating into the mall, parking and walking through the plaza inside to use the restroom before returning to my car and the road. And thus , I turned onto the highway and some uneventful minutes later eventually arrived at home, having avoided the traffic entirely.
