When in Tupelo you must visit the West End Market and Deli. It's on Main St. (Hwy 6) at the western county line. This is a clean, well lighted place. Yessiree you can get gasoline, motor oil, and the usual convenience store items. But, you must sit down at one of the red white n blue tables and partake of the best hamburger for miles around. We ain't a talkin' iceberg lettuce and a soy patty here. They make burgers fresh everyday and use leaf lettuce + red ripe tomatoes. Plate lunches are great and for a fiver and change it's entree, 3 vegetables, choice of roll or cornbread, and a drink. They don't portion out they dole out. Nice to sit down and know you'll be full. New Orleans style sub sandwiches and a variety of desserts are available. There's a plethora of softdrinks and juices. Even if you don't drink beer, check out the beer cave. It's chillin'!
Enjoy reading? There is an online site that has thousands of titles that you can download. It's called Project Gutenberg.

This is the official site. The fellow that conceived and initiated this wonderful idea, Michael Hart, was a guest on The Screensavers which aired on TechTV last night. Amiable dude that is all for people reading. They even have a bookmobile that goes all over the country to schools, libraries, etc. This unique vehicle has a printing press and satellite dish in order to print book copies on the spot. Most of the titles are public domain so you won't find the last Danielle Steele (sp?) novel posted. There are literally thousands of selections and you can download them to pcs, laptops and PDAs. I have part of the Bible on my Palm V. It's fun to search through the titles. Many sites mirror this official web site and some of these have much easier navigation. Just Google search for Project Gutenberg; my last one produced 290.000 hits.
Not googling? Did you even get a window in that cave?
