Arrived Saturday night. Long drive from Northern Indiana. Went from don't lick metal objects cold to shirtsleeves all in one drive. Absolutely clear weather all the way which really sets off the hills in Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. Some really neat local music on the Meridian Mississippi station. The first Katrina damage I encountered was the I-10 bridge which has a section of temporary "Bailey Bridge" like structure with limited load and speed ratings. Glad there wasn't much truck traffic at night. Got a nice hotel cheap in near the airport and will be driving in daily.
It's off to dbWorks get together Sunday and a few other meetings.
