Come this Tuesday evening, I'll be hitting the road for a brisk drive from Galveston, TX to my Dad's in Orlando, FL. It'll be nice to see him and my (supernice) StepMom for Christmas.
Sadly, I'll have to be back at the office the Monday morning after the holiday.
Watch for the blue Crown Vic closing rapidly from behind you in the fast lane, and kindly get the hell outta my way. I'm asking nicely, but only asking once. Resistance is futile, you will be pass-imilated!
I'm taking the laptop along with me, and the Dadster's got a rocketship of a PC at his house. Blogness will continue, to one degree or another.
And NO, I'm not letting Acidman come and cat-sit for me.
Be cool with it - you're driving through the South of the South - and I'm a Southerner.

Bring back some white sand for Galvatraz.

Have a safe and good trip. Thankfully my trip home to see the parents is only 2 hours.

Thanks to all. Luther, I might just bring back a jar of sand, so the locals here can go "ooohhhh, SAND!". *heh*
I tend to set the cruise at about 75 or 77 mph, depending on the local limit. I'm running at about the 85th to 90th percentile of traffic, but not into the flagrant-speeding range that gets the unwanted attention.
No need to do 90, when the time gained is lost in extra fuel stops and possible roadside interludes with the constablury.

The mere fact that you will be moving laterally will safeguard you to a degree. people are either running to Florida or to Texas. In your case, be advised that these 2 states to reciprocate on the gun laws and will extradite (personal knowledge of that fact due to an errant sibling). You should check some of the stogie merchants will there. Some are having visits of the high "roller" category. ( get it??? roller? as in cigar roller. bada bing ty!)
