Day 1 - Rainy Monday

A short post today to tell you that my drive lasted all 3 hours and 19 minutes as predicted by Google Maps taking me from Atlanta to Columbia. On such a rainy Monday, it was for these 4 things I gave thanks:

1. A boss who drives his car-less employee to the rental lot despite an impending meeting and rush hour to battle his way back to said meeting.

2. 9.39 FM - "The Drive" - 18 consecutive songs w/o commercial interuption. Classic ROCK. (You don't get this is GA folks, it's all SC).

3. NOT stepping in the largest pile of dip I've ever seen when exiting my car to use the gas station facilities south of Augusta, SC.

4. The Which Which "Wall" in Columbia, SC. Pictures do not do this wall-o-sandwich bag-orders justice. Sufice to say, the little business that asks you to write down your sandwich order on a brown paper bag with a red sharpie marker has made a wall out of people's creativity.
