All this talk of hobos and riding the rails made me think of the Long Ryders song ‘You Just Can’t Ride The Boxcars Anymore’.

Barb, you make the assumption that the 10pm arrival time will be accurate. I’m sure that a 10pm expected arrival I will get off the plan at 11pm and spend another thirty minutes getting my luggage.

Barb, I did something similar when I returned from Alaska. I got home about 7am, I wanted to get back on Atlanta time so my plan was to just stay up (I didn’t sleep on the plane) all day. I went to the hash and hung out after, man bedtime couldn’t come fast enough.

I’m not sure if we will be intown for the 4th, now Jerry is talking about us heading to Charleston for the weekend. Painful Member is my hash-iversary, plus I’m registered for the Peachtree, so I’ll be a little bummed if not here but hey a vacation is a vacation.

3 hours to get off the plane & home to EAV from Hartsfield? are you walking? (that was my snarky comment for the day?)

The craziest thing I ever did was take a red eye home from Vegas 7/3, go directly to the pub crawl after gettin in at 0630….. by 1300 I was shot. I actually took a long nap that afternoon, and I never take naps.

Yeah, but now I’m scheduled to land at 10pm which means I provably won’t get home until 1am on the 4th of July. I have to get up early and get a good shooting location for this year’s Peachtree Road Race. Maybe being incredibly tired will stop me from trying to hook up with the pub crawlers. Being able to stay up late enough to see fireworks was actually kind of nice for a change.

Still willing to help with house-hunting in the Raleigh area. We have NCSU/Duke/UNC/RTP for the science/tech crowd and are only a couple of hours from both the beach and the mountains (and you know we always have fun in Asheville).

From a vacation a couple of years ago, I have to admit that I also like NM. We stayed in Santa Fe, but wandered the area a little (Taos, etc.). Great scenery, outdoor life – and surprisingly good wineries (honest!).

I’m not sure why you are complaining about arriving 3 hours later… given airline travel these days, that’s probably when you would have arrived, even without a schedule change

Keep those hearth locations coming. I still need many more to “complete the book.”

I have nothing against the East Atlanta Beer Fest, I’ve decided not to attend any beer festivals. My beer festival days are behind me.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting as well, I found two hearths out 316 while the Colonel and I were checking the area for his birthday trail. There maybe a third but it is so covered in kudzu that we couldn’t tell for sure.

There is also the beerfest, I’m sure there will be plenty of photo opportunities there or at least a lot of tipsy, pretty girls. (but yeah I know your feelings on the EABF)

Paulie, I was thinking the same thing… THIS is your manifesto. And riding the rails actually sounds like fun.. sorta like hashing.. you don’t know where your going exactly.

I’d consider moving out of the country, but only to Canada. Not to insult the Canadians, but it’s America with better healthcare and less attitude. And they have Tim Horton’s!

Barb, I do intend on solo-strolling on Saturday. I may wind up at Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield.

All I have to do is to remember to be back ITP by 8:30pm for the Jonathan Coulton show at Variety Playhouse.
