I made it down safely and soundly my original plan was to stop in Chattanooga, but I when I got there it was only 4:30 PM so I carried on and ended up driving straight through. The last half-hour I got anxious but I think it was mostly because I couldn't drive 80 mph anymore.

Since moving to DC in '98 , I'm accustom to that when people on the street talk to me I'm predisposed to say "I don't have any change" but when here, I need to check myself and reply "How you doin'?"
