We woke up this morning in Alabama, had a light breakfast and eventually pulled our things together for the car. We went to Publix for our traditional lunch sandwiches. <\/p>\n

Man, I miss Publix. <\/p>\n

Gassed up, spent a little more time with my mother and also my grandfather. And then it was seven hours back up the road. Our only stop was a brief visit to see a friend in Nashville. <\/p>\n

The Yankee said she didn’t want to get in at 9 p.m. because we had to unpack and repack and prepare for more travel. This is reasonable and practical, as my lovely bride is a reasonable and practical person. So we got back to the house at about 9:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

Last week the government announced more free at-home Covid tests<\/a>. I jumped onto the website and ordered our tests. I also filled out the form my mother, my grandfather and my in-laws. On Sunday, I think it was, I saw that the tests would be shipped out starting Monday. And when we got to the house tonight, there they were.<\/p>\n

Some government efforts are helpful and efficient, and it’s worth pointing those out, too. You can get yours right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

You know what else is helpful? I wisely did all of my laundry last week. So now I only have to pack for another week on the road. <\/p>\n

Fortunately for me, I am a retired professional suitcase manager. My speciality was overpacking. So, if you will, pardon me while I go do that now. <\/p>\n

More tomorrow. If you have some more time to kill right now, however, there’s always more on Mastodon<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
