ATLANTA

Well, here I am in ATL for the next 3.5 years. I have a nice little "Cabin in the Woods" about 25 miles South between Stockbridge and McDouaugh. It's down a little country road with no traffic at all. However once you get off that road and on to one of the secondary roads... look out. All the roads are very narrow and tight down here in Dixie (except for the freeway). Traffic is a nightmare. Takes me 45 minutes to get to work (and thats leaving at 5:00AM).

I have also found that you must leave work by 3PM at the latest or you will find yourself in a parking lot called I-75. If you have to make a stop on the way home - you got ONE shot at it... after that forget it. Oh yeh, don't carry your gun in the car... you may want to use it at some point... The speed limit it a joke, if you don't go 80MPH and swerve in and out of traffic like a madman, you will get run over. If you want to do the speed limit you better drive on the shoulder.

On a positive note: Its warm down here (relatively speaking).

Chrissy is headed down here today towing my BMW F800GS behind her. I have discovered the DR650 is not suitable for the traffic situation here. I need a quicker, faster bike to stay ahead of the crazy traffic. She will stay for a couple weeks before heading back home. That is all for now - over and out!
