So in discussions with AI today it educated me on there being five difference classes of weather station quality. Class 1 being the best and 5 the worst respectively. KATL and KPDK are both class 5, and KFCC in Peachtree City being 1 or 2. The begs the question why any class 5 station would be used for official readings. I also came across this site from the University of Georgia which has links to weather stations across the state.

That site is great for soil temps in the winter time.

I’ve never even ridden by a Buccee’s much less visit one. I heard from friends that if you must go the bathroom on the road, this is a must due to how serious they take cleanliness. Maybe that’s why so many stop there and cause bottlenecks? I also heard their BBQ brisket is delish.

Can others here confirm these two things?

I have been to the one in Sevierville TN and one in KY! The brisket and pulled pork bbq, I’d put up against anybody’s!
The restrooms have attendants, and are amazingly clean! They pay their employees very well , as they have the pay scale and positions posted everywhere! Plus the 100+ gas pumps and no 18 wheelers allowed! It’s a great place to check out! 10/10

It's basically a twist on South of The Border from 40 years ago packed under 1 roof. Not a fan of Texas food so can't comment on the brisket. The breakfast burritos are okay though.

Their retention is horrific despite the pay. Never really figured out why.

Received this in the mail today, and looked online for what this is. Sure enough they used ------- AI.

Coaching kids on how to ride bikes in middle Georgia right now....disgusting heat. Charlotte is hot...but the corridor from Fayetteville-Columbia- Augusta over to central Georgia is just next level heat. Coastal Plain....too.

There is a rest stop on 16 that is usually our first stop on the way to St Simons and it is a slap in the face every time you open the car door. There is something different even if it is just a few degrees away from home.
 
Was digging through some archives looking for Hurricane Floyd stuff and came across some winter satellite photos from 1999/2000. It's wild how brown the east coast used to get in winter. The resolution isn't quite what we have now but it's close enough to see how much less sprawl there was. Some of the change is the proliferation of pine plantations in the last 30 years and some is the desire for cool season green grass in lots of places. This was 12/3/2000. https://archive.org/details/VE-IMG-1512

One of the houses that we are looking at tomorrow has apparently AI enhanced the image from the last ownership. Basically removed the soap container and slapped on a watermark. And of course, they used AI.

I know its a little early but are we running back the Fantasy League this year? If so I would like to be in it again.

Count me in again too! I think a twelve team league would be nice. The last two years we have had ten and fourteen teams. In a fourteen team league, replacements are hard to find if injuries wreck your roster. The ten team league made things too easy as far as finding replacement talent.

They even removed the toilet paper!
 
Food update from south Grand Strand, SC. Got to Lee's Inlet Kitchen for the first time in a decade--hush puppies still legit. Fried fantail shrimp is spectacular. A little on the pricey side, but everything is down there so whatever.

Tried Wahoo's Fish House on the inlet and was quite impressed (next to the infamous Drunken Jack's). Food and view is great. I think the name is kinda silly, but just my opinion.

Honorable mention: Conch Cafe on the beach Surfside/Garden City is a great lunch spot if you're ever over there. Love the porch setup and there's always a breeze so it never feels too hot.
