Drove to Murfeesboro today for the fight tomorrow. T was scheduled to fight. What a horrible drive up. A trip that would normally take 3.5 hours took over 6. We stopped solid 4 different times – Atlanta, Dalton (Dalton traffic? Has the world gone crazy?. There aren't but 12 people that live in Dalton...), Chattanooga and a stretch of road about 10 miles north of Chattanooga (people stopped to watch a pickup truck stuck in a ditch) Cows, Cows, Cows!

Accommodations are interesting... Here's something novel! There's a water leak that pools along the grout on the floor tile. Totally strange. There's some sort of high school athletic competition going on at MTSU (go “insert mascot name here”!) The hotel is full of coaches, parents, and high schoolers in warmup suits. It's like a congregation of NJ mobsters in training.

Here are a couple of pictures from the drive up. Good luck seeing anything. Click on the picture for a larger view of the rain.

Random thoughts:

• I know it's a cliche, but do people actually lose IQ points when it rains?
• Use the pedal on the right!

Livestock update: Left, 170, Right, 250! An almost insurmountable lead. the left side would have lost had it not been for the timely appearance of a cemetery. Right final count 30 + 1 deer.

That's it for today... Stay tuned...
