Good Morning and Happy Wednesday!
I am from Atlanta, a city known as the epicenter of bad traffic. I admit it's true. The traffic there is horrendous and I have learned to be egregiously early because of that. I thought it would be smooth sailing up here in the Carolinas.

Tunesday revisited
Honestly y'all, today was a wild day for me. Between technology glitches and the creation of the DTH's mail home edition (watch your mailboxes incoming first years), it's been a rollercoaster.
