A Rail Strike and a Long Drive in France

Thursday, October 24, 1991

David is off to London and I’m off to Bible Study - only one problem - giant rail strike.  We leave early and David drives me to my study.  A normal 10 minute drive took one hour and 10 minutes as everyone is driving today.  The city is paralyzed, and as San Antonio is with an ice storm.

Some people just don’t even bother to go to work.  David parks the car at the airport and boards the bus to the airport terminal.  Suddenly the bus just stops along with all cars approaching the airport.  The road is blocked by strikers and no one is getting thru.  He has to walk about 2 miles carrying his heavy luggage but does make the flight in time.
