Mayberry, R.F.D. (Really Foggy Drive)

I got back home an hour ago from my vacation. Decided on the East Tennessee vacation option, because the weather was supposed to be fine.

Harumph.

Rained Sunday. Rainy and foggy Monday. Foggy and rainy Tuesday. Rainy Wednesday. Rainy Thursday night. Sunny today!

Over 4000 miles in 6 days. 125 new counties visited, bringing my US total to 1993. Two new state capitols visited (Nashville and Frankfort), bringing my total to 20. Have now visited every county in Tennessee (14th state finished).

My rental car got good mileage. I made it through all of Illinois and all of Missouri on one tank of gas.

A play-by-play account will appear in this space shortly. Right now I need sleep.

One more thing: Attention world leaders!

Please stop scheduling major news events during my vacations!
