Well, I'm only 3 miles from my 3rd state - I hope Tennessee isn't as windy as NC; yesterday it snowed sideways, and todayI got hit by a flying leaf... and it hurt. haha. Well at least its warm for a while - I'm at about 1500 ft now, and its sunny and really warm (about 40ish, but thats awesome compared to what I'm used to) i just hope it stays that way at 5000 ft, where I'm sleepin tonight - riiiiight.
