Errands face delays

William and I spend much of the day catching at home as he starting catching up on his homework. We went out together to grab a few things and had only one last stop - Hill Avenue to get pizza shells, when my "shortcut" was delayed by a train. Finally it passed and the gate went up. Cars going the other direction got a green light and some went through when suddenly the gate dropped again and yet another train, this one from the opposite direction, came through. By the time we got to the store, it had closed (3 minutes late).
