Two long days of driving have taken me out of the middle of Florida and dropped me down in mid Virginia near the town of Floyd. Along the way I exchanged sunny, 80 degree weather, thou it was cloudy and cooler on the day I left, for 45-50 degrees and snow on the ground.
   Yesterday when I left it was cloudy with rain all day long while I drove north through Georgia and S. Carolina. That was okay though because it meant not having to turn the air conditioner on like I had been doing in the Gainsville area. It was rather chilly last night though while I was parked in the rest area just south of Charlottesville. I ended up throwing an extra sleeping bag on the bed as well as putting socks and a t-shirt on. Even then it was a little bit cold, especially this morning when I woke up and had to scrape ice off of the windshield before getting back on the road.
    It was a pleasant enough day today. Only around 45-50 for most of it, but the sun was shining and as long as the wind wasn't blowing too hard it was comfortable enough being out in it.
    I pulled into Rima's place around 5:00 and got the trailer parked and unhooked from the truck. Emptied the fridge and freezer out and grabbed a basket full of clothes before the sun went down. I've been hanging out and waiting for Rima to get here since then. She's on a bus somewhere between Christiansburg and D.C. right now, as she had taken a trip up to NYC this last week to see one of her ex-brother-in-laws give a piano performance at the Lincoln Center, and then get married to his partner the next day. Her original ETA was suppose to be around 3:30 a.m., but the Mega-Bus had some mechanical problems so now it is any bodies guess as to when she will arrive. I wish I could stay up until she made it home but I'm tired so it's time to go take a real shower and then get some sleep.
