Jodester the Roadster

First off, let me clarify by saying that the "Backhall Bookends" is not a book club nor does it involve books in any way shape form or fashion.
That being explained, I would like to tell you about my epic 4 day 18 hours of driving trek to NC. I left Ttown after an abysmal Physics test and made my way up north. I hit Atlanta right around 3 and I don't know where everyone and their mother was going but there seemed to be a mass exodus and I was right in the middle of it. If Atlanta could just sink into the earth and we could make a road on top of it I would be oh so happy! Along the way I passed a parade of 100 or so police cars- not sure where they were going but they weren't ticketing me- cha ching! I am proud to say I only made two stops on the 6 hour drive to Hendersonville, NC- once in the GA welcome center- nice bathrooms, sketchy soap- and once at a Walmart in nowhereville, SC where I promptly bought a bottle of Diet Cheerwine. For those of you who have never tasted this delicious drink- I am sorry for you- it is a delightful soda of a cherry flavoring. Next to Diet Mt Dew and Crystal Light it is my nectar of choice. They do not, however, make it in Alabama, which explains my second WalMart stop on Friday to grab a case. But I digress, I finally made it to the mtns of NC where I proceeded to drive up and down a windy road in the dark with heavy fog and rain... I'm still alive how? I stayed in Hendersonville for the night and then awoke the next morning to continue to Randleman. As I was leaving the big H my gps refused to acquire a signal- so I set off blindly down another windy, curvy road complete with its own fog and rain. Once gia the garmin finally clued into reality she immediately instructed me to take a left down the sketchiest nonroad in existence. I am now convinced my gps is out to get me and wanted to have me murdered jeepers creepers style. Needless to say, I got back on the right track and reached my destination.... On the way home today I saw a sign that said "incident ahead at mile marker 12" what it should have said was "massive car wreck ahead.... get off now because its backed up for four miles and you will be sitting in your car for all eternity." I interpreted the incident as the latter and got off the interstate... only to be greeted by another wreck- how to I get so lucky. Finally, as I was nearing Athens I saw a University of Alabama van with the logo and all. Not sure what they were doing all of the way out there but they were definitely speeding away- suspicious? I think so. After this epic trip I am now convinced that I should never take a road trip with people seeing as how I managed to nearly get myself killed cutting across six lanes of traffic in Atlanta- I don't want to put anyone else in harm's way AKA my driving!
