    Thou shalt not leave ringer on…..damn it

    Damn it. I left Clarksville for a three hour tour…ok, three days in reality, but the Gilligan theme song has been in my head for several days so if not for the courage of the fearless crew…. The plan: Leave Clarksville around 11pm. Drive to Buccees  in Georgia… sleep three hours (in the parking lot) before… Read more
