Monday night, 11:15 American time and I am in Wilson, NC. At this rate I should be in Bradenton tomorrow night.
The temp according to my car is 15 degrees C. And the gas price is all over the place. It was $5.?? something in Washington and $3.05 in Richmond. Coffee is consistent... $.70 for a regular which looks large to me,, but I don't really know.
Callie doesn't seem as shy and really likes being able to move around in the car a bit.. I stopped quick once and automatically put my arm out to protect her and she did a flip right over it.. She was ok,,, She likes sitting on the arm rest beside my seat and looks around as if she should be telling me how to drive.
Her new game.... All night last night she roamed around the room. She's jump on the bed for her petting and then off to roaming again. In the morning she was very friendly until I started getting ready. Then she disappeared. I had visions of tearing the bed apart again this year. I'd call her,,, not a sound... and looked everywhere, then started moving furniture... She was hiding behind the night table... As soon as I moved the table she spoke to me... So we're innto "Hide and Seek" on this trip.
She doesn't know it yet, but there is a huge German Shepard in the room next to us... Only a joining door separating us...Wouldn't she be surprised
"till tomorrow... If I am in Bradenton tomorrow night I won't be able to write as my internet isn't hooked up until Thursday
Not wearing socks tomorrow...lol

Connectick
I'm sure that must be spelled incorrectly. but it's 1:30 am Monday American time and I have been driving since 2:30 pm Sunday, Canadian time. Both the cat and I are doing great. We're tired but it's a good tired and we really got alot farther than I expected to. It's 8 degrees here.. All ready a bit warmer.. Gas at Calasis was $3.33 and somewhere else$3.55 Some time I will figure out the saving.
Callie is doing really good. Although she didn't eat in the car.. She's making up for it now.
I'm tired going to go to bed now.

On the Road Again
Dec2,2011: On Sunday, Dec 4, I will be leaving for Florida again. There have been alot of Canada geese on Rudyard field all fall, Yesterday there weren't any. I thought they had all gone south, but there were a few there again, so I might just beat a few of them to the warmer weather.

MayDay
I stopped early tonight and the motel I'm in , I couldn't get Internet access in my room so came to the lobby.
I got to see the Guidestones and it was well worth it. I will post pictures another time
The only thing funny that happened today was when I stopped to eat. The waiter asked me where I was going and I told him to Canada... He said, "To visit?"
I said, "No, I live there I'm going home."
He said, "You don't sound Canadian."
I got quite a laugh out of that.. The he wanted to know if he sounded Southern.. and he sure did..
Callie has been excellent. No trouble with her at all.. She actually seems to be enjoying the trip and everytime I stop she looks around and talks a bit. I was tired today so took lots of stops at the rest stops and got coffee. The Rest stops all look the same. Callie would look around as much to say, "Are we back here again?". She doesn't try to get out of the car. And it is quite enjoyable having her to talk to everyomce in awhile.
The mountains are beautiful here in Virginia, but I miss the Palm trees/
That's it for tonight. More tomorrow

Day one of Return trip
I had planned to be on the road by 9am. At 12:30 when I pulled into Bernie's and Sharon's to say good bye.. Bernie just looked at his watch.
I decided to go straight up Route 75 and go into Georgia to look for the Georgia Guidestones. I will get back to that in a moment, but I did see some interesting things on the way. First ofall... I think every bug in Florda committed suicide on my windshield. And what a job to scrap them off. I will have to do it again before I leave tomorrow. Lots of trucks on the road, but most of the highway I was on did not permit them in the left lane, so the drive was smooth. Three lanes is a great way to build a road.
OneMotorhome I drove by had an interesting license plate. They were pulling a small car and the plate on the car said, "Caboose". The plate on the motorhome said, "Engine". Do you suppose they were retired railroad people?
Another interesting fact is that: "It is unlawful for anyone under sixteen years of age to pump hazardous fuel" in Georgia. Sounds like a good rule to me.
Callie and I have reached a new agreement.. I gave her a couple of pills this morning and that did cause some concern. I think it made her thirsty and we had a hard time getting organized so she could drink water. I decided to let her free in the car and she is much happier. She is obedient when I leave the car and tell her,"No" and she is enjoying watching the people and birds. When I take her out of the car she is not struggling to get out of my arms. The motel I am in, I think, put some catnip on the rug or else she was very happy to be on solid ground.
The Georgia Guidestones are the North American 20th century Stonehedge. They were built in 1980 and support a 25000 pound capstone. The owner has managed to remain annoymous. They have ten suggestions of how to live successfully to perserve our earth and have a happy life. These suggestions are written in eight languages. I have wanted to see them for a long time and this seems to be the perfect chance. However; I can't find them. I typed in Eberta. which I thought was the town they were in. The people there have never heard of them.. So, now I'm on my way to Elberton. Hopefully, I'll have better luck tomorrow. If I see them, I will post a picture.
