It is raining. It is leaning toward 11:00 and it is raining just like last night. Well, maybe not like last night because it is not as hard. Last night it rained and I woke up the next morning and took my shower and ate some sort of breakfast, not much actually, and hopped in my car and drove to work, where I found that when I exited my car my glasses fogged up immediately with the humidity from the night before and caused me to remove my glasses and walk through the fog caused by a lifetime of nearsightedness. At least until I entered the airconditioned offices. This belies the concept of a good rain shower cooling everything off and creating a nice clear morning.
No, I take that back. It was a nice clear morning, with a special little gift of fog for my glasses. I think tomorrow will follow the same pattern. I get to drive to Zebulon, the last city on the alphabetical list of Georgia cities (not much of a city). Then on to Columbus, then to Knoxville, yes, there is a Knoxville, Georgia, just like there is a Nashville, Georgia, but no Chattanooga or Memphis, Georgia. That would be too much of a coincidence.
Sometime tomorrow, I get to meet with a client and possibly get paid, then make an assessment on another case and possibly work on another criminal case. They get to be fun sometimes.
I always enjoy driving to Columbus. Not enough to want to live there, but it is a nice place to visit. I have always had a sense of place, which allows me to see myself in terms of where I am situated. I can drive my car and see myself travelling across the map. When I travel to Columbus, I see the edge of Georgia, with Alabama just across the Chattahoochee. The Chattahoochee is so shallow and clear. You can see the fish trying to work their ways upriver, but there are too many miniature dams between the fish and Lake Lanier.
It would be a cooler place to live, but somewhat difficult for these fish to navigate. Fish are so hamstrung, if you can use that term for a fish. I don't think they have hams. As a matter of fact, I think I am certain about that.
I think this is the end. For tonight.
About Me
- TBAYNHAMIII
- I was born in Kentucky, though my parents had been living in Knoxville before my birth. My mother's mother lived across the street from the hospital in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, which was convenient. I moved around quite a bit when I was young, but ended up in Georgia. I like to read and write and love food and drink way too much. I have a funny wife and daughter who has finished her batchelor's degree and is living with her grandmother in North Atlanta and studying advertising. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I had not gone to law school. Regrets come and go with the seasons.
