On that next trip to the cottage...
Stop for an ice cream cone, have lunch by the town river, pick up some things for the cottage or home...
you might actually be more relaxed before you get to the cottage... hmmm
And there might actually be less cars on the road,
because less people are driving to the city for work.
Instead they're working in their own town...
at the hardware or grocery store you shopped at this morning...
