My Summer Vacation in Jacksonville, Part I

Tuesday, July 7

Driving non-stop: Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia. Dusk on the Tennessee Valley, dawn on a gray day somewhere south of Macon.

Wednesday, July 8

Georgia to Florida, parking in Fenna's driveway around 10 or 11, more than 24 hours earlier than planned.

Thoughts while driving:

In the spirit of Meatloaf, I want to start writing down highway signs, as if they were meaningful. Like bridge freezes before roadway, or dip. I can see bad poetry being written about them, or inspirational posters.

The Mississippi is overrated.

Text sent to Fenna: 1:30 est-80 mi to atl-another coffee- may not sleep at all

Giant cross architecture is neat.
