July 10, 2016.. We made it just fine to Little Rock. We left home at 7:15am EDT and arrived in Little Rock at 8:00pm CDT. We stopped and spent about an hour or so with my brother in Memphis. The traffic in route was very good compared to most times we make this journey. We have made the drive a couple of times before on Sunday and the traffic was light then. I am convinced that Sunday is the best day of the week to make this drive. We came through two periods of rain but they didn't last long. Overall, it was a good driving day. 
Tomorrow, I have a real easy schedule at MIRT. I hope to finish the day there by early afternoon. That will not be the case on Tuesday and Wednesday though. Thanks for taking the time and caring enough to read this blog.
