It seems as I drive this route that the traffic is different each time. Coming down there wasn't a single delay, until I hit Nashville, actually it was more until I tried to leave Nashville. It was another one of those experiences that shows you how much traffic can change by coming through a half hour later than before.
When going South on I-65 out of Nashville there comes a point where the five lanes very quickly change to just two lanes. It was here where I ended up losing all my time. It took almost a half an hour to travel two miles which isn't the worst but I will know which lane to aim myself at the next time I come through here.
It was also here that I got to see a four wheeled armored vehicle making its way through traffic. It definitely stuck out as something different in is desert camouflage, and it took everyone in it to drive it. There was a guy sticking out of the top, he served as both rear and side mirrors for changing lanes. He was also wearing goggles due to the wind as it moved with traffic a 55 MPH. Then both front hatches were open for the driver and another person to be able to see better than from inside. The top hatch looked a bit like a turret but the traffic was too heavy to pay much attention after I passed it.
The weather is definitely getting cooler, I might actually wear jeans on the way back up after my shower and breakfast this morning. But it does get warm in the truck so maybe not. I did have the unpleasant discovery yesterday morning to find out that my wind shield leaks along the top edge. I saw the most drips from above the steering wheel, but that is no guarantee that it is the only location. There was water on the floor and water in some of the cup holders in the dash, so the rains on Monday and Tuesday really had a chance to come in. Driving through rain I haven't seen any water come in due to the wind keeping it moving back from the windshield.
Well off for a shower, Glendale, KY, Petro.
