We spent the day in Georgia, in the Atlanta area for about two days. The traffic was awful there and some of the drivers I think have a death wish, as you can see by the picture that is above. Now this guy pulled right in front of the truck and thought he would have no problem. But, look at the traffic ahead of him...he just thought he would fit, I guess. It is a good thing that my husband has a quick reaction time. It just makes a body want to get out and give them a little attitude adjustment.
I know I have a thing for construction workers. But I have to say this was interesting to say the least. When I enlarged the picture the guy that is squatting down in front of the machine, you have to check out where his eyes are looking. The other one, standing, is..like..ahhhh, I'm not into this..
Then back on the freeway we go, to do the doe-cee-doe. This SUV tried to pull in front of us and then decided to pull right smack in back of the truck. Now what happens if the truck has to slam on his breaks? OOPPS. It still amazes me.
Every time we pass these buildings I tell myself that I am going to take a picture of them. Well, today I had my camera out and was paying attention. I am not sure if they are hotels or business buildings, but they do add to the beauty of the skyline of Atlanta.
We began our day in Atlanta and it was pitch black out. When we were in Social Circle, GA the sun was just coming up and I just had to take this picture. When we get up so early, we do get to see some beautiful sunrises.
Even in the back areas you will find stately homes. I wonder what do the inhabitants do that live there, for there is no farm or ranch around. The commute to a large town is quite aways away.
When I saw this grocery store on the corner, it was refreshing to see that "Americana" is still alive and flourishing. If there had been a place to park the 18 wheeler we would have stopped to do some shopping. Alas, just about the only place we can shop is at a Wally world.
Most of the homes we pass have large front porches with rocking chairs on them. They look so inviting, for the most part.
T Then we travel down the road. Most of the road are like this in the back areas of the southern states. They go up and down, up and down. And the trees. The saying "You can't see the forest for the tree's" comes to mind when ever I am back here. My husband thinks it is great to see all these trees, but I like to see some color, other than.... green.
Now this is a sign that just had to have it's picture taken. You have the "bears" and the "chickens". I have never heard of this...just Ex-lax, but if they would do some advertising, I am sure they would give Ex-lax a run for their money. No pun intended.
This small town has the "Town Square". The only thing that was missing was the bandstand, but I think there was an area that they could put one up if they needed to. These small towns are what represent "America". The big cities are fine, but it is the people that live in these small towns that make up what this country is all about.
Tomorrow we will be in Florida, in the Sarasota area. I don't think I have been there before, but then I am never sure where I am until I ask my husband, "Where am I". It is a good thing that he knows.
Well, it is going to be an early day on the marrow, so I will see you, On the other side.
