Christmas Greetings From Sunny Florida!

Right now, Mary and I are here in sunny Lakeland, Florida, where the temperature is in the 70s. Sure beats Atlanta right now.
I am writing this blog from the Lakeland
Books-A-Million, which now has free Wi-Fi access for its "Millionaire's Club" cardholders. We were going to stop by the nearby Starbucks, but here, we've got books, coffee, and
FREE WI-FI!!! YEE-HAW!!!On the way down through Atlanta on I-75, I spotted something that has never been seen on Metro Atlanta freeways before... actual MUTCD-compliant big green signs with separate exit number tabs (as opposed to the exit numbers being within the BGS itself (the standard in Georgia for years). The only other place in Georgia where one could find exit number tabs (IIRC) is on the Liberty Expressway/Georgia-Florida Parkway (US 19/GA 3/300) in Albany. Oh, and did I mention that the new BGSes have standard
traditional freeway font (as opposed to the narrower fonts Georgia has been using over the last 20 years)? As soon as we get back, I
will get photos,
One more thing before I go... Florida now has official highway maps in large print and Mary and I picked up a couple while at the I-75 welcome center.
That's it for now. Thanks for reading and Mary and I wish y'all a very Merry Christmas.
