Buccaneer SP, Waveland, MS
I drove to Gulfport, MS, to have the oil and transmission changed. It was terribly foggy and there was one pile up in each direction as I made the 35 mile journey. As a result, I was late getting to the shop; it was the worst example of a service department I have ever seen! But, I got the work done and got out of there, picking up RV parts, groceries, and lunch on the way home.
It was a treat to be able to see; the fog had lifted. US highway 90 runs between the spotless white sand beach and the continuous live oaks for about 20 miles until the elegant Bay St. Louis bridge. At which point, it becomes a four lane undivided highway full of the commercial establishments we know so well. Many strip malls and stand alone buildings were vacant; I suspect a lingering effect of Katrina as well as the 2008 downturn.
Returning “home”, I got out on my bike for a fun ride down wind along the coast and a taxing return trip. I need some wind to challenge me; there are no real hills here. Penny was painting again and seems to be nearing a completed mural! (Closing in on it anyway; no pressure!)
