Executive decision time...
I am just north of Jacksonville, FL without any desire to go further south into Florida. Ozzy, especially, and I spent a very uncomfortable night in the humidity and heat. So, I am going to abandon my plans to go to Daytona Beach and instead will return in a northerly direction back into Georgia. I'm going to go to Athens, GA today, home of the University of Georgia and more moderate temperatures.
I am not unhappy about not continuing to Daytona Beach. On this journey I have tried to eliminate generalizations about myself...I am this way or I am that way. But, honestly, I am not a hot weather or beach person. {Can't remember the last time I wore shorts: maybe forty years ago? maybe fifty?} The only real reason I would have gone to the beach would have been to look at young women in very little clothing. (Not a bad thing, but not worth the gas, time and heat.) So, I am turning around and headed north.
I had a mixed time in Savannah. What a beautiful city with so much to offer in art, landscape/architecture and culture. However, I really never felt safe there. After leaving I read several articles on the internet about the crime in Savannah. It appears I was not wrong in feeling the way I did. Too bad, lovely city. I did try to apply for a Busker's License, but the approval time could be two to three weeks...too long for me to stay.
So, Ozzy and I are off to Athens. Don't know yet how this effects my plans to go to New Orleans, or the rest of any of my plans, for that matter. I have been trying to play it all without any real set agenda. However, I am thinking seriously about returning to Plymouth in May for graduation at Plymouth State. There are still quite a few students who will be graduating who were students of mine. I would like to see them "walk." So, there you have it...for now...
