To Quote the Song Title: "BACK HOME AGAIN IN INDIANA"
I made it home last night (Monday) at 8:15 p. m. It was a near-perfect trip. The car was great (a 2007 Nissan Maxima with only 20,000 miles when I started the trip and it got really good mileage. I was safe and never got sleepy the whole time--which is unusual for me.
The only "bobble" was yesterday--the last day (wouldn't you know?!) I came as far as Grayson, Kentucky, and stayed at a Holiday Inn Express Sunday night. Monday I packed up, loaded the car and drove a short distance to see the campus of Kentucky Christian University at Grayson. Then I headed for home.
I had gotten as far as Georgetown, Kentucky, just north of Lexington. I had checked my voice messages at home once or twice before. This time I checked and had a message from the Holiday Inn in Grayson. I had left all my hanging clothes in the room closet. There were three bags--clothes for 11 or 12 days!
So--what to do? I decided it was worthwhile to go back after them. I turned around and headed back--106 miles; got the clothes, gassed up the car and started back again. But at least I have my clothes.
I don't know why the hotel personnel chose to take all the clothes out of the bags--unless they were searching the pockets for valuables. But at least I got all my clothes back.
Now I'm back at work facing a very busy fall at work with quite a bit of travel.
Until the next Post...
Jim
