Construction is going on on just about every road and highway we have been on lately. This is the government at work, stimulating the economy with road construction and bridge repair. But, there are so many barrels, (wonder if they are full of "pork"?) and just one man to do the job. I think that there should be at least four. One to drive the truck. One to toss the barrels and rings down and two on the ground to catch them and put them together. Now we would have four people employed instead of one.
But, then again, why would we want our government to pay someone who isn't working? Not the elected officials, we know about them already. It appears to me that we are having a meeting of how things should get done. Wait and see how many cars and trucks it takes to create a back up for miles. Now if they just sit there for a few more minutes...
But, wait. There are two guys working on a bridge. Or is he fishing?
Mission accomplished. There is a back up in the traffic for at least five miles. On this stretch it seemed that there were more trucks than four wheelers. (four wheelers is what the truck drivers call a car)
With the back up in the construction zones we had the time to appreciate the fall colors. There weren't many trees changing yet, but the ones that were were beautiful.
One of these days I am going to look up in the history books and find out what the battle at Chickamauga was all about during the Civil War. There are so many battlefields throughout the North and South. I never thought that there were so many battles fought in the Civil War, but I guess from all the signs along the roadways there were quite a few.
This picture is a little distorted. It almost appears as if the restaurant is sinking into the mountain side. But, I just took the picture as we were going around a curve. There are rib joints and bar-b-que places in every town and city in the South. Some are very good and others...well ..let's just say...I wouldn't go back there again and if you really really didn't like someone....send them there.
So on that note, I will say..until the next time I will see you ..on the other side.
