Georgia on my mind, and my clothes, and in my car...

Trip 2: 1422 miles, 25 hours total drive time

Brief synopsis:

1/4/05 handed in the keys to my apartment (another word for it would be money pit), went up north to get a couple of computers :) had lunch with the good people at "cardinal" health, and then set on the road. Ended in Pittsburgh, PA at the home of my good friend, former college roommate, and all-around dipsmack Brian. Played Star Wars Battleground online.

1/5/05: The day sucked, it was just above freezing and didn't stop raining all day. Most rain Pittsburgh had received in one day in January. Surfed the web and played Star Wars Battleground. Went out to dinner with Brian and Kathy (his wife). Came back and checked out one of the computers. Played Star Wars Battleground online.

1/6/05: Said goodbye and thanks to Brian and Kathy. Drove towards The Dirty South (pronounced "tha durty souf"). Stopped for lunch and gas in West Virginia. I saw what could best be described as a redneck robot trying to get the attention of some poor woman behind the counter. She was ignoring him. I couldn't because he wouldn't shut up and I couldn't hear the woman when ordering food. I guess a mullet only gets you so far in today's world.


Hey, did you know there's another president that was impeached?

Aimed for a stop in Greensville, Tennessee. It has a historic landmark I wanted to see, but I got lost and they closed the minute I arrived. But the driving more than made up for it. Tennessee SR 70 from I-81 south is an absolute blast to drive- two lanes, no shoulder, no guardrail, and a four foot deep ditch, and 110 degree turns. Try and keep it above 35 without crossing lanes :)

Watched a guy with a messed up knee pay for four packs of cigarettes with a check. Made the value out to be larger because he wanted to play video poker in the gas station. This transaction took 15 minutes. The guy behind me with the six pack of beer was pissed. (yes, they sold beer in the gas station.)

Coasted into Georgia, and on into at the home of my good friend, former college roommate, and all-around hosehead Steve.


He's got a little mowing to do in the backyard...

Today I am planning out the rest of the trip. Staying in GA tonight. Brian brought out a good point- I need to get a picture of my self next to something stupid, like the world's biggest ball of yarn. I'll have to look something like that up as well.

Tomorrow (Saturday) night ends in New Orleans. I think THAT'S self-explanatory....
