Almost Done With a Rough Week

Traveling thru Tennessee on I24 before getting into Georgia, is full of beauty. This pic was taken at about 65 or 70 mph, I didn't have a chance to "stop and shop" to get the best shots...but just gives you a glimpse of the beauty. There is a beautiful lake on both sides, with mountains all around. One of these days I may rework this pic and others I took using photo shop to get them cleaned up a bit, but this is a blog not a gallery so it will do for now. This place is Especially pretty in the early dawn or late evening hours with the sun beyond the ridges but still light. Definitely in the top 20 "most beautiful drives" I've encountered.

We'll be leaving Atlanta shortly (never soon enough for me...sorry Atlanta but I find you an awful place to be) enroute to Charlotte NC, then Asheville...a land with a couple years of my childhood stored in its history...then on up into Kentucky, and zip back down to Ft. Smith Arkansas area tomorrow night.

Still waiting to hear whether Sam will be sleeping in his own bed tonight, or still sleeping on the floor of the overcrowded and condemned jail with sewage backing up into the floor...awaiting his trial. (by "awaiting trial" we're thus describing conditions people go thru while considered innocent) We're not yet as bad as Turkish legal systems but we're headed there at 87mph.

This has been a rough year, and an especially rough week, so we're very much looking forward to piddling around the house this weekend!! Sorry about the bug splats on the windshield. Even though they were brave bugs, I bet they don't have the guts to do it again.
