That post about my title was kinda bitter, so I'm making this one a separate post. I think I'm going to brave driving downtown again today. I really, really don't like it. Not liking it isn't really the issue. What is the issue is that it scares me. I went last weekend by myself, and I drove in circles most of the time, pissed off a few drivers, and then left without stopping. Today, I'd like to get down to the Battery, so I'm just going to have to pluck up my courage and brave downtown traffic and parking. I'm reading a sequel to Gone With The Wind, and most of it takes place in Charleston, along the Battery, and I want to see if I can recognize anything from the book. I wonder if I could hire a tour guide for the day to show me around, and give me a bit of history? No, probably not. Besides, I'd probably frighten them away like I did the nice trolley-driver on Charles Town Landing. He stopped and said good afternoon to me, and since he was the first person that weekend to talk to me (the only one, too) I about near talked his ear off until he abruptly told me he had to go, and left! The silly things I do!
