Georgia on My Mind!
When one stops completing unpacking one's suitcase in favor of adding to and taking from it for the next trip, one may be on the road too much, 'ya think?! But that's neither here nor there, y'all.

Hey y'all, checking in quickly before I check out for the night. I've stuffed several days into one here trying to get ready for yet another road trip and the brain is officially shutting down. I'm going to let the brain cells marinate and go at the deadlines again in the a.m. For now, how about another round of the caption game? I'll go first.
