On to the Mountains

It is 4:15 in the morning, and I am getting ready to leave for North Carolina. I will be gone for the weekend. I am helping my father with some ditch digging. It should be fun. I’ve got my new truck, and have it packed with everything I need, including food. Jessica is probably going to Savannah in Georgia while I am gone to see her friend Valerie. And to see her friend Xander I am sure.

I was in WalMart last night shopping for a few things I needed for the trip. The power went out. In a Wal-Mart. It was quite interesting. You could hear a slight panic throughout the store and people were fumbling in the dark (only the emergency lights were on). Everything except the front cashier were up. And over the intercom, we were told they would only operate for 20 minutes. The power came back on in about five. Does WalMart not have a generator system? I know it’s huge, but couldn’t it run stuff like every third light, some of the freezers (so they don’t have to throw out food), and of course the cashiers?

Anyway, I have a long ride ahead of me (I get there around 3:00), so why don’t you give me a call?
