Yesterday didn’t quite go quite as planned (at least where the first half of it is concerned).  I couldn’t get myself out of bed on a vacation day at the same time I normally get up for work.  That was issue no. 1.  Then, it took my laundry longer to finish than I anticipated.  I finally left Northwest Arkansas around 1:15/1:30 yesterday afternoon (a little while after my goal of noon).  The trip down was pretty boring.  This is a good time for a road trip, though, if you like looking at the scenery.  The colorful trees in the mountains on I-540 and I-40 were gorgeous.  I have 255 songs loaded on my iPhone and went through them all.  (I’m not one that lets every song play all the way through so I skipped ahead a lot.)  I made it to my hotel and got checked in by 7.  Considering I stopped twice, that was pretty good time.  It took me exactly the same amount of time Google Maps said it would.  (I did make 2 stops along the way which I don’t figure Google factors in.)

Oh yeah…I got gas for $2.05 before leaving Springdale and found gas for $2.09 in Durant at one of Oklahoma’s gas station slash casino slash Burger King places.  I haven’t looked at the gas prices here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area yet but I would assume they are at least a little more than the two prices I paid yesterday.

I’m at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport right now waiting on my flight to Atlanta, GA.  It leaves at 11:55 am.  I’ll arrive in Atlanta on 3:15 pm EST.
