Well, it's no April Fool's Joke. I am on the road and outta town. It was a relatively simple travel day. I drove a little over 300 miles today and am staying in the town of Saltillo, Mississppi. It's just outside of Tupelo, the birthplace of Elvis Presley. I am staying with an old friend, a brilliant and aspiring young professional from Milton.
The poor girl came down with the flu today : ( but hopefully she will be feeling much better tomorrow. I ate some of her pasta salad- I sincerely hope it doesn't kill me!!! All is well and I feel a little relief now that I have finally gotten underway. I always get a little anxious before a trip. It's just a general feeling of unease about the unknown future possibilities that stretch out before me.
All in all it was a very good day. I had lunch with my mother and her boyfriend Bill at a little catfish house in Milton and then left around noon. I drove through some drenched parts of rural Alabama... hell it was all rural today. Not too many metropolises between Lower Alabama and Northern Mississippi. Saw some quaint towns. The south sure has a lot of little towns and communities with strange names... Delma, Reform, Coal Fire, Buh, Elrod, and Gordo to name just a few.
The weather man says hail is likely tomorrow... lets just hope it isn't too big!
