After Thanksgiving
Today was Black Friday meaning all the stores get out of the red and into the black financially speaking that is. I wouldn’t dare venture out today and shop. Its a mad house. Anyway, I tried to go to Mt. Airy Wednesday night. I got to the Northbound I-77 exit off I-40 east near Statesville and it was blocked. I circled around and headed west and tried the exit on that side. It too was blocked. So, I pulled off the next exit and found a gas station to make calls from. I called my parents to see if there was another route. They didn’t know of one. so, I went back home. 5 hours on the road for nothing. Traffic was terrible. Bumper to Bumper in some areas. Anyway, I looked on the internet when I got back home and found out that someone hit a utility pole and power lines were hanging very low on I-77. Thursday, I had a quiet Thankgiving dinner with my son yesterday. I have plenty of leftovers for several days.
