Memphis is sorta/kinda like Hot-lanta. I take the run-around roads and don't try going right through. Generally quicker and less flustrating.

Best experience we had driving thru Atlanta was one January night,
about 8 pm. By then, evening rush hour was over so we went thru with no slow downs. We've been on the leading edge of the evening (mid
afternoon) rush hour and moved right along but the evening time was
even smoother sailing. We'd stopped for a later supper about an hour outside the city, gave the traffic time to clear.

When I was trailer trucking the big rigs were not allowed "downtown" unless there was a bill of lading for a local address.

We were either going thru with just our vehicle (car or truck) or
vehicle plus camper; the January trip was with the camper. We'd been
out west to visit our girls for Christmas, came home the southern route
so we could visit some friends in Alabama along the way. Also avoided
any storms going thru the central or northern part of the country. (G)

Through or around varied depending on time of day and day of ther week. Cincinatti was *always eaqsier to go around. Indianapolis usually was a
clear shot thru. And Chicago ... let's not e'ven go there BV)=

No harder than when we were chirrun - especiallly if you're pre-TV as
I wss.

We got our first tv when I was 9 years old. Parents didn't listen to
radio except in the morning to get latest news/school closings/etc. I don't really remember what we did pre tv, probably read a lot of books. I'll still turn off the tv and grab a book most nights.

We got our 1st TV when I was 10 - do 1952. It got two stations since
the UHF band was but a glimmer in Lee DeForrest's eyes.

We got our first one in the early 60s, maybe a year or so (don't
remember exactly) before the JFK assassination. Only got one station
for the first few years, then only 2 until I was in college & the local cable guy talked my parents into hooking into a system that gave them a lot of NYC channels. Later on, he tied one in a local (60 miles away) station so folks could have local news/weather.

Our first "Community Antenna" was just that - A very tall antenna that pulled Stations from100 or so miles away (St. Louis/Champaign/Peoria) so we had a
good selection of nrtweork and 'ocal-ish programming.

I remember when my dad came home with a 17" table-top TV and it was
the "cutting edge" of technology. Heck, my confuser's monitor on

this DD> unit is 27" And Dennis is usig the 45" boob tube in the
front room as a monitor.

Steve used our only tv as a monitor for his C-64 for the first year or
so. I'd ask him to be done so I could catch news/weather at 10; he'd
say "OK" but Johnny Carson would be almost over before he'd quit. After
a 3 month TDY, he used some of the pay saved from that to get a proper monitor.

My first Commode Door 64 has the factory 1702 monitor. It stayed as a VCR monitor long after the confuser was upgraded.

Hi Dave,

(Atlanta)

When I was trailer trucking the big rigs were not allowed "downtown" unless there was a bill of lading for a local address.

We were either going thru with just our vehicle (car or truck) or
vehicle plus camper; the January trip was with the camper. We'd been
out west to visit our girls for Christmas, came home the southern route
so we could visit some friends in Alabama along the way. Also avoided
any storms going thru the central or northern part of the country. (G)

Through or around varied depending on time of day and day of ther
week. Cincinatti was *always eaqsier to go around. Indianapolis
usually was a clear shot thru. And Chicago ... let's not e'ven go
there BV)=

We usually do the "go 'round" option and try to avoid hitting cities
during "rush" hour. Going to have to deal with Chicago at some point;
we've got a donation to make to the Chicago Public Library. When my
maternal grandmother died, her daughters donated some of the family
paperwork (books of poems, etc) to the Library. A few years ago when my
dad passed away, we were up for the funeral and found my younger brother burning papers from my aunt's apartment. We rescued a box--found out it
was more of my great grandfather's writings, including the handwritten manuscript for a 4th (unpublished) book. We figure he passed away before
it could be published. CPL has copies of the first 3, including the
scarce 3rd, and in 2019 said they would welcome the additional papers.
Well, covid hit, then this and that, hopefully we'll get there next
year.

Opened up a big wide, world to you?

When we went to Germany, we got a multi system set so we could watch
German (and in Berlin, British) tv. That one finally died, IIRC, when we
were in HI, where, it was fun, with cable, to watch Asian channels, as
well as a German one. Saw some of the original (in Japanese, with no translation) Iron Chef shows.

I'll rescue my goose from the supermarket, thank you very much. When my
mother started working in the school library, she started buying a goose (instead of) turkey for Christmas dinner. We'd go to her mother's for Thanksgiving so had turkey there and ham was served varioous times
during the year so I guess she wanted something different--but the
traditional German Christmas dinner. She did all the sides generally
associated with an American Thanksgiving dinner with the goose but it
didn't last as long as a turkey and couldn't hold as much stuffing
(usually only one meal's worth).
