Iced tea

It is just what you drink here. In giant glasses. Night and day...

Greenville mississippi

The house band ... The walnut street allstars playing at the walnut
street bar and grill thursday night. The guy with the hat is german.
Dinner was catfish.

Pyramid found

As far as I can tell this mound is unrecorded. It sits on a big
archaic shell ring as well. And loads of sheets...

Abe's BBQ

Today we supped at Abe's BBQ in Clarksdale, MS. This little BBQ place is near the cross roads of Hwy 61 and 49 which, legend has it, Robert Johnson traded his soul. The BBQ is spectacular. For those in the know, it almost as good as Horton's in Kennett, MO. Really. Amazing BBQ with only marginal vinegary sauce, vinegar slaw and outrageous beans. The BBQ here is as good as any I have ever had. Holy cow delicious.

Once again, Tim looks fondly at his BBQ pulled pork sandwich (and tamales).
