Manteo, NC

Apparently, I have a past life that involves living in Manteo, NC. It was news to me. I left home this morning and got rolling at 8am. While stopped for fuel and lunch in Mebane, NC, I decided to call the receiver to see if it was okay to park overnight since it looked like there weren't many other options in the area. "No problem," says the guy on the phone. Wonderful. "If you get here by five-thirty, I'll show you where to park." Yeah, I don't think I'll be there that early. Since I had him on the phone, I figured I'd compare his version of directions to the ones I had. Now, there are two bridges to the island. His version was something along the lines of "take the new bridge and go through town, past the old bread building, and our driveway will be on the left." I guess in my past life, I was around when they built the "new bridge" and back when the "old bread building" was the new bread building. I crossed the first bridge I came to. I guess it was kind of shiny. I went through town going about 25mph and must have forgotten where they put the bread building. Fortunately, he had mentioned a cross street that was just before the facility, and that was the only way I was able to find it. After I finally got here and made sure it was the right place, I was backing up in the parking lot to get over to the side and out of the way, when an SUV pulled up next to me. The driver got out and walked over to my door. "Are you lost?" Turns out the guy was a UPS driver and had been behind me through town, so he stopped to see if I needed help. Thanks, dude.

That was my day. Saturday, I left Corbin around 6am and stopped in Knoxville to have breakfast with my folks. After a drop and hook in Calhoun, I made it home around 3pm. I was off Sunday and Monday and managed to get caught up on a few things. I'm not sure where I'll be heading tomorrow. That's half the fun.
