Drove on the old National Road/ US-40 from Zanesville to Cambridge, then I-77 south through West Virginia to Virginia. Stopped at the Virginia Welcome Center for my Virginia peanut fix and Wytheville for gas and my Chocolate/Blueberry Ugly fix.
U.S.-421 from Winston-Salem to I-40 at Greensboro. Made it through the Raleigh-Durham Sytangler on I-40 with no problems. Then, US-70 to Goldsboro.
Met Bob at Mom's house then Julie arrived. We ate at Pizza Inn and spent the rest of the night sorting through Mom's stuff. I mainly concentrated on books.

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.

North Carolina Summer 2016-- Part 12: On the Way Home
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.

N.C. Spring Trip 2016-- Part 2: A Scary Drive Down the Mountain But Soothed With the 'Cue
APRIL 30, SATURDAY
Listening to the CD by the Brothers Osborne called Pawn Shop, a country band with a rock sound.
Took I-70 from Springfield through Columbus to US-33 on the east side and then southeast to West Virginia. Made my usual stop for gas at Dogpatch Crossing. Gas everywhere in Ohio was $2.30 to $2.35. gas at the Crossing was $2.35. I stocked up on my Grippo's caramel corn. I am told there are no places in the area that sell Grippo's products and that it is out of Cincinnati.
Then I-77 in W.Va. to the Virginia Welcome center for my Virginia peanut fix and gas at Wytheville, Virginia for $1.96. Best price yet. Had major fog and mighty scary coming down I-77 the last eight miles to N.C..
Stopped at Hursey's Barbecue in Graham, N.C. for some of their great 'cue.
Then US-421 to I-40 through the Raleigh-Durham terror, US-70 to Goldsboro.

YOU'RE OLD IF YOU REMEMBER: When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids came back from school.
