July 31, Sunday.
US-70 to Raleigh and then I-40. Doing this on a Sunday means there is no traffic jams. Got off on US-421 and stopped at a Cook-Out restaurant which has a really good Carolina bbq, slaw, fries and hush puppies for $3.99. Good deal.
Then US-52 to I-77 and gas and Chocolate Uglys at Wytheville. Gas now $1.87. I always love gas under $2. Experienced long back ups at the first two toll booths heading north on the West Virginia Turnpike and just plain heavy traffic. Sunday must be a big travel day in the state. Then I hit quite a long traffic stop a few miles outside of Charleston. Never did see why we had that backup.
I-77 north to US-33 and then into Ohio. Stopped at a place I've been meaning to stop at in Logan, Ohio, called Millstone BBQ. I'll definitely stop again..
I-70 through Columbus to Motel 6 in Richmond, Indiana, for the night.

OH HELL! ... Let's Offend Everybody: What is the difference between a southern zoo and a northern zoo? Answer: The southern zoo has a description of the animal along with a recipe.
Sorry If You're Offended, But These Are Funny.

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

Summer North Carolina 2016-- Part 1: Gettin' My Cincy Chili, Chocolate Uglys, Snappy Lunch and Wilber's 'Cue Fixes
JULY 19, TUESDAY
I left for North Carolina to help settle affairs with my mom's estate and took the usual route there, now becoming very familiar with the third trip in as many months. I got through Indianapolis during rush hour without a problem and stopped for my usual Cincy chili fix at Skyline Chili. I drove to the east side of Columbus, Ohio, and then went on to Athens, Ohio, where I stayed at Super 8.
JULY 20, WEDNESDAY
On US-33 to I-77 in West Virginia. No Virginia peanuts at the Virginia Welcome Center, but they said they had it on order. I need my Va. peanut fix as well. Stopped at Wytheville, Virginia, for the cheapest gas of the trip, $1.90, and got my Chocolate Ugly fix.
Then stopped at Mt. Airy, N.C., for my Snappy Lunch porkchop sandwich fix. I-40 was busy, but made it through the Raleigh-Durham "Strangler' always a horrible traffic jam. Arrived in Goldsboro, N.C., and went to Wilber's BBQ for my 'cue fix with Bob and Andy.
