This vintage vehicle cruising down Bryan Boulevard last week was captured on a low-resolution, cell phone camera. The nostalgic feel of the photo evokes memories of yesteryear, a time when life (and vehicles) were less complicated. Can’t you just imagine Andy and Barney driving from Surry County to Raleigh in a vehicle like this? How fun it would be, riding along with them. Surely, Andy Griffith would have some diplomatic, words of wisdom about election results- regardless of whether or not his candidates won. Likely, the well-meaning Barney Fife would put his foot in his mouth a few times and Andy would get him back on the right path.

Even if you work this weekend, we hope you have a chance to slow down and appreciate the simpler things in life. From the colors of fall to meaningful conversations with loved ones, seemingly mundane aspects of life can turn out to be the most meaningful. It is good to be mindful of that when you are traveling the same highway for the tenth time in a week, which, for us, would be Bryan Boulevard. Happy weekend, dear readers!
