JUNE 3RD
We picked up the Dodge Avenger at Enterprise Car Rental at the Savannah Airport.
Took Julie over to her high school to help her clear out her room. Such a sad time when you retire and have to do that, Congrats, Julie.
Then drove to Statesboro, Georgia, ate at the Steak 'N Shake and dropped Julie off.
Mom and I drove US-301 through Georgia and into South Carolina. This road kind of reminded me of Route 66, with towns that have definitely seen better days and lots of older 40s-50s motels, many in advanced stage of deterioration. .
We were surprised to find a Georgia welcome center at the SC line, but, it wasn't open on Mondays, unfortunately. Usually welcome centers are on the interstates these days. I understand that US-301 used to be a major route to Florida, until replaced by I-95. US-301 was a very scenic drive. Eventually got on another road and then over to I-95 and north to North Carolina.
Filled up with gas at a station near Florence, SC, for $3.18 and gas around Savannah was generally $3.25 to $3.30. Considering that Saturday, gas in Fox Lake, Illinois, hit $4.10 to $4.20 and gas in Wisconsin had jumped from $3.86 to $4 yesterday. Something needs to be done about the GRBs at Big Oil.
Took I-95 to US-13 and drove to Goldsboro. We had rain off and on from Florence to Goldsboro.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
