Things....Learned....From the Week-end .....that was...

In this small,  southern,  college town.......

Summertime....is here.   Afternoon thundershowers.....temperatures in the low 90's......humidity up near 100%.......and the flies.....oh the flies.

And it is still only the middle of May.   Summer does not officially arrive until June 21.   Go figure.

Monday asks that question.   Are we smarter today?  Did we learn .....anything?   From the Weekend?

Well........here's what we at 5 on Five learned......with the help of a few of our friends:


The Atlanta Braves.......are not as bad........as we thought they were:

Atlanta Braves (18-19)

Last game: May 16, Atlanta Braves 13 - Arizona Diamondbacks 1  Next game: vs. New York Mets, May 17 7:10pm ET  www.braves.com    The Bravos took 2 of 3 from Arizona and have now won 10 out of their last 15 games.  The Boston Celtics........maybe old......they maybe tired.....but ......they could....beat the Magic: Boston Celtics (50-32) Last game: May 16, Boston Celtics 92 - Orlando Magic 88  Next game: @ Orlando Magic, May 18 8:30pm ET  www.nba.com           Things......I think ...I think:   The NBA Play-offs......lasts way....too long. 6eVoice.....and GaPeach913  (bro & sis).......just got back from a 7 day  cruise...with their significant others.......I am a bit .....jealous.   My daughter,  Madison....has 2 more days of teaching school.....before her summer vacation....again....I am a bit ......jealous.   I just don't ......have the energy ...or time.....to mow my own lawn anymore. Why do 18 wheelers.......continue to get in the fast lane...attempting to pass....and can only get up to 65 mph? So.......it's a Monday......Are you smarter?

On The Road........Again

We come to you....

Tonight from the great state of North Carolina....and the town of Cary.......to be exact. 375 miles and 6 hours from our small, southern, college town.

Interstate 85.........then Interstate 40. Through Georgia......then South Carolina.....and finally.....the "Tar Heel" state.

One stop.......in Burlington, NC.........to gas up.......and relieve body fluids.

Along the way...... we observed vehicle tags from Georgia, Mississippi, Maryland, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio....and.....of course......that old couple ......going 50 mph......in the fast lane......with Florida plates.

I picked up a "rabbit" entering South Carolina........and tailed him to the North Carolina line.

After that........I had to become my own "rabbit". Pushing the envelope.....daring the troopers....leading a pack through Charlotte and Burlington.....until I left I-85 for the I-40 entry into Cary.

4 hours.........45 minutes........ Athens to Cary. Now we wait for the other family members to join us.......for our annual Thanksgiving......get-to-together.

The Lincoln LS.........performed.....magnificent.........

And we lived....to make another Post!

Happy traveling .......to all....and to all......

Be safe.
