Trip South

This winter, I decided to go South for the winter.  I came early so I could beat the snow birds in finding housing.  That is something that becomes very scarce when all the snow birds arrive in the south.  I am already enjoying the sunshine.  Tomorrow, I may check out the beach since I have a place to stay.  I stayed last week with some very dear friends of mine who invite me to come down to stay with them every year.  Very nice people.  My trip here was very smooth and  for the most part uneventful, unless you count the near accident while driving through Nashville, TN.  Almost got me an attachment of a little blue car about the same size of my red one.  Trust me that is not a good color combination to go for if you have a choice which I didn't.  But with my excellent driving skills and quick thinking, I avoided that red, white and blue color combination.  The little blue car had its tires smoking and pulled out into my lane.  My brakes were really doing their job as I turned to miss the blue car and went between it and a white one on the other side of me.  I will never understand the reasoning behind the fact that when traffic gets closer and into a big city the speed increases to somewhere in the area of 80mph even though the speed limit is usually 50 or 60mph or less.  I only saw about 6 wrecks in about a five mile stretch of that highway corrider. I'm good.
