Got up at 5 and packed the rest of my things. I was out the door at 5:30 after having a bowl of cereal and filling the thermos with coffee. I made a rest stop at Gainesville just before the exit. Traffic was easy to here. Had no trouble through Waldo but 301 was lots of truck traffic. I discovered a new way to bypass Baldwin using Normandy Blvd. The sign says it's a future 23 N toll road. It was wonderful and hits I-10 where the three lane portion starts going to JAX. I stopped in Brunswick for gas and picked up a Wendys single and small fries which I ate while driving. Next stop was just North of Florence to top off the tank. Traffic became very heavy. The sky through Georgia was black and angry looking but no rain. The Met was doing back Stravinsky but I was happy with Classical pops and listened to Dvorak Cello and several other long works. I got home at 4:30. The trip through Crossroads was light even though it was rush hour in Raleigh. Libbie prepared a nice coming home dinner of Salmon, wine, Spinach and Strawberry Shortcake.
