HOME AGAIN, after fairly decent driving conditions. We overnighted in Valdosta, then drove through light rain and medium traffic today. Not too bad, even in the dreaded Atlanta section of the trip. It’s clear that higher gas prices still aren’t causing people to drive more slowly. It’s nice to be home, but looking at this picture and comparing it to the dreary, rainy weather in Knoxville makes me wish we’d stayed a few days longer . . . .
