I seem to be getting a little old for this epic road trip shit. At least, the recovery time keeps getting longer. Could I really have left Georgia nearly a month ago? Oh yes. Add a raging case of PMS (thanks crappy road-trip food), and I just want to hide under the covers for another 2 weeks.
Bah. Enough with the self-pity.
Today my thoughts are with the flood survivors in Tennessee, Kentucky & Missouri. Loved ones lost, homes destroyed, lives upended. I'm most shocked because I learned about this disaster? On FACEBOOK. And it's not like I avoid the news. I read the New York Times and Washington Post almost daily. I'm addicted to the BBC. But between the would-be Times Square bomber and the crude oil gushing in the Gulf of Mexico, it's no surprise the mid-South is getting the short end of the news-cycle stick.
Just look at this slide show from the Tennesseean newspaper. My family in Nashville is safe and dry; we've been blessed and I am thankful.

I agree Misty....but I don't ever watch the news. You're at least two up on me! Thanks for sharing the slideshow. And my best to your fortunate family.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the news at all...get all my news from the MSN homepage or Facebook. I am still kind of shocked about Nashville, to be honest. It's so sad.
ReplyDeleteGlad your family is safe!
