Yes, I’m walking in Memphis. The RV seems much happier now, thank you very much. It did set me back an alternator, a starter, and the labor to put them in, but, as I mentioned in my last report, better there than in the middle of the desert somewhere. When planning the trip, I had…
No sooner do I complain about not being able to find the good-food-at-good-prices, small-time, home-town kind of restaurants than I’m sitting in one. Capital Chevrolet (the wonderful folks who were the only ones in this time zone who’d said they could fit me in. When in Nashville, please stop in and buy several fine Chevrolets)…
Well, I’m in Nashville. More specifically, I’m just off the Briley Parkway. Okay, I’m actually on Music Valley Drive. Alright, alright, yes, I’m at Opryland. I know that seems like an odd place for one with my musical tastes to be hanging out. But when you imagine the type of folks who would probably enjoy…
Last update from Georgia. I realize that not much has gone on, particularly not much that was worthy of three updates in a day, but I’m still figuring out how this whole process is going to work. I was hoping to have phone hookups to the RV, but apparently those are pretty rare, but available…

Okay, I’m still at home, but the RV is in the yard and I’m getting packed. There are several goals I have for this trip. I want to learn how to use my camera, so I bought a bunch of film and I’m going to a lot of Natural Wonder type sites. I want to…
Here’s the plan: the plant where I worked (okay, “worked” is perhaps a stretch here. Let’s say the plant that paid me for my continued attendance and leave it at that) is shutting down, and they started offering severance packages. I got the hell out of Dodge. One of the upsides of working for a…
