Our road trip was called on account of evil weather. We had had a near lethal dose of "southern". South Carolina is really really different. We had seen three statues of Strum, don't he look lifelike, Thurmond in less than three hours. The legislature was busy debating a "fetus memorial". One of the counties we stayed in was getting ready to pass a law against pornographic billboards! On the billboard front - I saw on that said "The Anti-Christ for information call...". Imagine that. I might be able to live in North Carolina - but not South Carolina.

Anyhow, after this lethal dose of "southern", we were all set to head out to Tennessee and the Great Smokies. Dollywood and the Giant Brassiere Ride. Maybe even Nashville. But The Weather Channel indicated that we would spend most of our time in the rain at best and in a tornado at worse. So, we called off the road trip.

One thing I'll miss is the Piggly Wiggly. I love saying Piggly Wiggly. Piggly Wiggly Piggly Wiggly Piggly Wiggly Piggly Wiggly. It sounds so south. So Driving Miss Daisy.

Going to a baby shower in Charlottesville on Saturday. So, the road trip might restart after a slight rain delay.
