It was a glorious weekend in Greensboro. After the heavy rains on Friday, We had a nice weekend; warm sunny days with a hint of autumn in the crisp, clean, morning air. The above photo was taken on Burnt Poplar Road, parallel to I-40, out near the airport. That part of town has an interesting array of businesses. There are refueling stations, a waste facility, a police station, a company that sells school busses, and so many more businesses. Just past Galimore Dairy Road, this a little spot of vastness appears. It evokes the scene of driving on those long stretches to and from the North Carolina beaches. Long and desolate, until you hit a little pocket of congestion when you least expect it.

By the looks of traffic yesterday, many people were returning town to start the school year. And, today, on this Monday, the Guilford County Schools are back in session.Happy Monday. It is a full, first week of school. Let’s hope that every lesson is a great one and that every student tries his/her hardest. Drive safely and watch out for school busses.
