This morning, on my way to work at the Atlanta Airport, I spotted and was able to follow for about 1 mile a French VAB 4x4 Troop transporter being hauled on a tractor trailer flatbed. It was painted in US Desert Sand, and had Arabic script on the lower hull front and in pristine condition. Unfortunately, I did not have my digital camera with me at the time. As the truch was entering on I-85 southbound from Atlanta, I surmise that it was heading toward Ft. Benning.
It was a cool start to my morning though!

If you are able to take a picture while driving on I-85 in Atlanta you should give up your day job and try to get a ride in NASCAR.

I see all sorts of vehicles headed to and form Anniston Army Depot on I-20 when I'm at work. Every now and then there will be a truck or two stopped at one of the truck stops. It seems that I never have my camera with me on those days.

Ever think of investing in one of those cellular camera phones?

Unfortunately, I have a few more months on this contract...
