Asheville may not have been a good idea. The devastation along I-26 is visible for miles. Downed trees, damaged home and cars, Power Poles down and workers everywhere. Trucks are staged along the Highway and into town. The hotel I’m in is staging for 1st Responders.
Currently the hotel has no running water and that presents a major issue (No bathroom) Also they need to alert people that many restaurants are closed. I thought I was being smart by calling yesterday and was not told of about any of this. I wanted to support the local businesses.
I get it, shit happens but because my schedule is flexible, I would have skipped the area and come back after further recovery. I will leave in the morning if necessary.
Now for dinner? Not sure what’s available so a ride it is. Speaking of rides; It’s getting more crazy on the highways. Trucker’s not paying attention to the road and drifting across lanes and off the sides of the road, not to mention running right up on your rear bumper, amatuer race driver’s who think passing within 1-2 feet is safe and those that instead of paying attention and understanding they are operating a “Killing Machine” are staring at their phones. It’s out of control and we need some minimal enforcement to cut down on “Distracted Driving” I don’t want to become a statistic because of stupidity.
Stay Safe, Happy & Healthy!
