Remembrance

The flowers are artificial; the sentiments real. Old soldiers. Some not so old.

A great way to start the day!

And now off to Clearwater!

Further Down The Road

Finally got past the business end of the journey – at least for the present – and headed to Charleston to meet the first of my heretofore unknown cousins, Charles and Betty Price. I’ll make that the subject of another post since we’re all going to meet up in Louisiana later in the month but it was a great evening learning about blood kin that up until now I knew nothing about. The trip from Greensboro to Charleston was uneventful except for a bit of rain that occasionally got extremely heavy but that oddly shortened the run because it more or less eliminated opportunities to stop and take pictures. Although not entirely. I was near Darlington, SC, famous for it’s NASCAR events, when the weather broke for a period.  As i zipped along I spied a scene out the corner of my eye and made a quick u-turn to try and capture it.

 

After diner with the Price’s I headed on toward Savannah but it was getting quite late so I stopped at a Howard Johnson’s Inn hard-by Parris Island, site of the USMC basic training facility. I was located closer to the Island that I realized. Awoke this morning to gunfire, from the practice ranges I assume. On to Savannah now to meet with Rayn and JB and take in one of the most beautiful cities in the South.

Coffee houses are not only ubiquitous but very useful for business. Was able to visit both Tate Street and Green Bean this morning coordinating the launch of NyghtVision Boot Camp next weekend in Greensboro.

First Day Out

The May-long road trip begins. A beautiful drive down Rt29 today to Greensboro. Blue sky. Hardly a cloud. Steig Larsson‘s The Girl Who Played With Fire on the audio book. But ouch! Forgot to put sunscreen on my forehead. Won’t do that again. No pics today. To much of a hurry. But here’s one from yesterday that I took with Camera+

Osama bin Gone

We all exhibit a bit of a cultural tic by constantly wishing one another to “Have a nice day!”

Today is that day. Big Time.

Anyone heard from Cheney recently? Just curious.
