Parking Lot On I-65

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 75 degrees, high 98 degrees, partly cloudy

Whew, what a long day. It started with us going to the house at 0800 hours to finish cleaning up after the move out of the furniture yesterday. We were finished with that task by 1200 hours, and also removed most of the food from the refrigerator so it could be taken to the apartment. We were back at the apartment by 1300 hours, where we helped Terri do some minor touch up and unpacking. At 1530 hours, we went with her to Birmingham so she could pick up Thomas from his two weeks visit with his dad up in Athens.

The trip up to Birmingham was uneventful until we were on the north side of the city. At that point, I-65 became a big parking lot for about 20 minutes. There were signs posted about construction, but we didn't see any ongoing work. When the traffic started flowing again, we still didn't see any thing that would have caused a delay. No wrecks, no work, no slow vehicles, no police stops.

Since we knew it would be fairly late before we got back home, Carolyn suggested we eat supper at Cracker Barrel. No sooner said than we were there. The food was not bad. After supper, Terri asked if we would mind going to Best Buy, so we drove over there. After walking around and making a mental wish list of all the nifty electronics we would like to have, we were back on the road. We arrived at home about 2045 hours, and were glad to be here.

More later, be safe.
