"Fashion"
I sat at a rest stop in West Virginia thinking about the word for the week. A man with a bushy beard, camouflage hat, and a plaid shirt walked by. I thought, "Yeah, that's American fashion!" I'd like to act superior and everything, but I had on a t-shirt with pajama bottoms, both of which probably had paint on them. Hey, I drive in comfort.
And what a drive it was! I went from Cleveland to Gainesville, Florida. I'm pretty sure that's roughly equivalent to Scandinavia to South Africa. It was 23F on the day I left with gusts of gale force winds. Brrr.
I drove up and down and around mountains, even through mountains before arriving at Sis1's house in South Carolina. I left my coat in the car to look at flowers in their yard. Bro-in-law took us for a drive to look at houses, farms, and a historical site commemorating the Revolutionary War. We went to dinner where I told our waitress that I'd like "anything but okra!" You guessed it, she brought me okra. I tasted it, rejected it, gave it to Sis who actually likes the stuff.
The next day's drive was supposed to be shorter than day 1. There was a huge accident in Georgia where I parked my car on the freeway and got out to talk with my fellow travelers. I decided to consider it a cultural exchange since there wasn't much else I could do about it. A friend back home called and said she got snow. I laughed. Even being stuck on a Georgia freeway was better than more snow.

Just to show Americans are friendlier than those in DC would have you believe. This is the sign in front of the jungle house. |

Then I had to drive home. The predicted "light rain" was a monsoon in SC. I ended up parked on the freeway again because a whole string of cars slammed into each other. I hoped that was it, but no, I was repeatedly parked in North Carolina too. I eventually stopped for the night in Mt. Airy, the "big town" Andy Griffith used to go to near Mayberry. I had the best fried chicken for dinner, and okra wasn't on the menu.

Southern monument -- who thought we needed to laud road construction guys?! But I hit some rough roads and guess I do appreciate them. |
Last day, I crept through the twisty, windy mountains with my hands tightly gripped on the steering wheel because the world was a solid gray of fog. I really hated mountains and driving by then, but eventually I made it back to Ohio where the sky was blue, the snow had melted, and 34F didn't feel so bad. Kinda miss Florida though.
