Chronicle of the process of moving from USA to Mexico

Another day, another Waffle House.
It seems that at each hotel I stay at during my business travel, there is a Waffle House within very short proximity. At the La Quinta last night in Nashville, it was about 50 yards away from the door of my room. At the Comfort Inn tonight, I would need to walk a half a block to get there. The same was true a few weeks ago while I was in Florida. I've not much interest in eating at the WH, as the food there is terrible in my opinion based upon my one or two desperate quests to satisfy hunger without needing to face the traffic in a city far away from home. To be fair, I have heard that the Pecan Waffles are delicious but it hasn't been something that I've been craving.
Perhaps I could photograph and author a book, "Waffle Houses of America" as a side line to my business travel.
On Sunday 11/26 I flew into Nashville to get involved in my next job related project. Once again I found that the PowerPoint survey of the site that someone had done several weeks earlier did not provide the needed detail to plan the project. I will spend tonight in my hotel room in Birmingham Alabama trying to modify the implementation plans accordingly and to see if I can solve the puzzle of using as much of the equipment as possible that has already been purchased.
The drive from Nashville to Birmingham was pleasant, much nicer than the drive I had done a few weeks earlier as I drove about 500 miles between 3 different cities in Florida. The rolling hills of Tennessee and fall colors were nice. People in Tennessee seem more friendly than on the West coast.
Tommorrow I will go to the job site in Birmingham to begin an installation there even though I have not yet seen the facility. I can only hope that the needed parts have arrived and can be made to fit.
After two days in Birmingham, I continue South in my little Pontiac rental car to New Orleans where I will try to capture information that will be used to deliver a proposal on rebuilding some of the infrastructure at a railyard facility that was wrecked by the hurricane.
And then I get to go home late Thursday afternoon. But not for long. On Sunday I fly to Tampa to complete a project at that location now that some of the missing pieces of that puzzle have been located after a visit there a few weeks ago. From Tampa, I think its back to Birmingham Alabama depending on how things go during my next two days here. Or maybe Nashville or today someone said I should think about being in Maryland next week.
If you are ever driving North on Highway 65 from Tennessee, be sure to stop at the first rest stop after you cross into Alamaba and see the big rocket.
Gooodnight.
