Day 11- (boring update alert) Apparently, it is still summertime here in the south. The cold nights I was pleased to get when I first arrived have (wait for it)… gone with the wind. I broke a sweat during my sleep and was jarred awake by some sort of large, flying insect landing on my face. And people ask me why I like winter? I heard Boise got snow. My plans for the day are minimal: a trip to the thriving metropolis of McDonough, Georgia to buy shoes and find a Chase Bank. Betsy and Christy came along and I drove us (along with Amos and Pepper) up I-75 to the shopping area in Pops SUV. If I ever had any second thoughts about moving away from this hell-on-earth, that horrendous 15 minute drive on I-75 quickly squashed those. I solemnly swear I will never again complain about noon-day traffic on Eagle Road. I was able to find a decent pair of light hiking boots, and Betsy’s smart phone has GPS which she used to locate the bank. With my two chores done, we all returned home and I spent the remainder of the day just bumming around the house. Later, I cooked some pasta. (yawn).
