I'm already in FL. No probs on the way down, but this was the first time I've driven down in more than 25 years. Back then the speed limit was 55, now it's 70.

Well Rob, If it makes you feel any better I'm half way home. Stopped in a motel in Jonesville,NC. 70 miles N of Charlotte.
When I left Cocoa this noon it was 84 and sunny. Here it's cold and rainy. (heavy sigh).
On a positive note, I just read a report on aol news that this is going to be the warmest winter on record.
Turn it up! Unle Charlie
