Traffic, Barbecue, Home: Ending of a Good Trip

We awoke near Calhoun, Georgia this morning near interstate 75.  We were headed toward Atlanta not long after nine listening to a book on CD.  Atlanta traffic was Atlanta traffic, but it was moving well.  Fortunately traffic south of the city was lighter than usual.

We lunched at JL Barbecue just off 475 in Macon and deemed it adequate but not spectacular.  We have eaten there several times before and we are afraid that the quality has gone down.  Neither the ribs or the sliced pork really had that cooked over wood taste that we look for.  I asked Klep if it had really gotten worse or if we had gotten more discriminating and he decided it was a little of both!

We finished the book long before arriving in Valdosta, changing over to Sirius Radio's Classic radio station.  We love the simplistic way the old time radio stories got the story told in thirty minutes with time out for commercials.

Our next adventure was Publix.  It was either stop or go shopping tomorrow.  We opted for doing it on the way home.  We stocked up on good nutritious veggies, fish, chicken, and lean meat.  There will be no more fried pies for awhile.  Both of us are dreading the scales in the morning!

We pulled into the driveway at 4:02 p.m.  Our place is living up to its name.  The rains have come quite regularly which is great for the flowers, but the mosquitoes are in full bloom, too!

We now declare Road Trip 2012 done!
