Long long long day

This is me in Columbus, GA at my friend's house. This was 8:30 am. Another friend of mine picked me up and drove me to the Atlanta airport so I could rent a car. After an hour of waiting, I got the car and started driving to Charlotte to pick up Janice in Charlotte, NC. The drive from Columbus to Atlanta was about 1 1/2 hours. The drive from Atlanta to Charlotte was about 4 hours. The drive from Charlotte to Beckley, WV was about 3 1/2 hours. It was a long drive but a good one. No snow. Yesterday was rainy but today was absolutely beautiful.

This is a shot I took while I was passing through South Carolina. Today I drove through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.

I got pulled over right before we crossed the border into West Virginia. I got pulled over by a Virginia police guy who chewed me out for not moving over to the far left lane when I saw a big rig and some police cars on the side of the road. The law is to move over to the far left lane. I didn't and he pulled me over. Chewed me out. The let me go. I think he woke up on the wrong side of the bed!

We finally made it to Beckley, WV and met up with Ted and Josh. This is Ted looking at some "monkey butt" powder Janice and I found out a gas station in Virginia. I want to say we were close to Galax, VA.

Posing with the "monkey butt" powder.

After that, we walked next door to Cracker Barrel to get some supper. Josh had the roast beef. Janice, Ted, and I had the catfish. It was some Southern cooking. No one liked the dumplins so I ate Josh and Janice's portions. I love that stuff.

We had a little pow-wow tonight to go over the enrollment. This is Josh talking with HQ about computer challenges.

It's 2:16 am and I'm out.
