I’m still in. I’m assuming that the gas situation down here is temporary and will be resolved within 2 weeks.
The only sticky point I have right now revolves around my back and sciatica. I have never dealt with sciatica before, so it’s a new, painful experience. But I’m getting PT and things seem to be improving, if slowly. I think it will not be a problem by then, but I wanted to throw that out there in case I had to cancel as the dates get nearer.
Is there a place we can all converse? - here is fine for me, but as we get closer, there may be some messaging and such that people want to do prior to, and during the weekend.
I hope you are able to make the trip.
Back issues and driving do not go well together. The reason why I relented and finally asked someone to join me is because I am afraid my back will act up and I will regret going it alone. At least this way I can take advantage of my nice backseat— if Bring It All McGee doesn’t fill it up with junk.
I am thinking that it will go down to the wire as far as people hanging in there and going through with this trip or not. There are just too many strange things going on and you don’t know what is going to happen next. At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Mississippi flooded. And it’s not as if going through Canada is a good option.
The gas situation is scary. I can handle $5 buck a gallon gas. I will just spend less money on drinking on the trip, which wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
But what I can’t handle is not being able to get gas. I envision filling up every time I am down to half a tank.
As for conversing, I am sure once we are a week away and have a pretty firm idea who is showing up, we can at least move to Freepmail.
