Spent the last three days in a rest stop along I-10 in the Florida panhandle. Cold got so bad I was too weak to drive. Stopped in a Walmart and stocked up on various cold medications and sleeping pills. Drugged myself and slept in the back of the SUV and waited for cold to break. After three days the sore throat had passed but had to deal with a lost voice and some severe congestion in the lungs. Had graet joy just to be able to swallow but still didn't feel much like riding. Stopped in White Springs, FL and rode around town. Had several routes I wanted to ride as I used to do winter training in this area back in the eighties. Warmth felt graet but did get rained on slighty. Was content to just ride a few short loops around town so I would never be more than five miles from the truck. Decided to spend Christmas In Naples rather than head back to NY. The eighty degree, sunny weather had more appeal than taking a cold home for the holiday. Hopefully the sun would renew my desire to ride the bike again.
