Was bad company for DJ as he drove home and I struggled, unsuccessfully, to stay awake. Was ready at 7 for an exit which eventually happened at around 9:30. People having coffee and reading novels before packing on leaving day is so foreign to me that I could but look on. Everything, nevertheless. happened in due time. Brief, torrential every mile or so along the road.  Charleston lovely and remote from the highway, her steeples spindly and delicate.
