Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Heading for the Warmth: December 29th-- The Tennessee Horror

Spent a considerable time this morning cleaning the 4-5 inches of snow off the car.  Not what you want to do when going to Florida, but maybe it is.  See what you'll be missing.

Had breakfast Sliders at White Castle, then drive through around Indianapolis on the bypass and I-65 through Indiana and Kentucky.  Stopped at White House, Tennessee, and bought Chocolate Uglys and visited a short while with my nephew Andy and his family.

It was snowing lightly all the way through Tennessee, but nothing sticking.  We encountered three traffic jams getting to Nashville, only one because of construction.  We don't know why we had the other two.  Stopped for tacos at Jacks (Jack-In-the-Box) southeast of Nashville.  We love their tacos and the chain is no longer anywhere near Chicago.

Then, we had a long gapers' block on I-24.  Going through the mountains, we had a traffic jam all the way up and all the way down.  And then, there was a 20-30 mile back up west of Chattanooga.  Again, no reason for it.  Just a jam.

Drove around Chattanooga for awhile then on to Dalton, Georgia, and a stop at a Super 8.  We found a great little place called the Oyster Pub and did some relaxing after all that traffic , snow, sleet and rain.
