Why am I still in this car?

With the economy where it is, I have sure seen my fair share of a slowdown. It has been a few weeks since I had to run all over but last week I had to do just that. Another beckoning to Alabama and I was on my way. Passed thru Nashville and Huntsville down to a little spot just outside of Birmingham. While there, another customer had an electrical emergency sending me back into the car and driving another 4 hours south to just outside of Montgomery. All these miles..Whew.

Luckily, I went straight to the plant and in about a half an hour got them going again only to see another bout of car riding in my future. Figured the best thing for me was to stay the night and start fresh the next morning. Driving thru Alabama does show how polar the scenery can be. The billboards around Huntsville are plastered with government contractors and space stuff. Nearing Birmingham, the commercial side is a smorgasbord of industry. Montgomery is proud of their Hyundai manufacturing facility. But between these bigger cities boasts a slower pace and a nod to the past. There is plenty of open space and lots of acreage along both sides of I-65. You just don't see all the tight fit neighborhoods. People have there own space and enjoy it. These days that is a commodity worth investing in.
