Ramblings, opinions, and general meanderings from the Deep South

'Summertime...........and the livin' is easy' - or is that 'Summertime.....and the chicken is greasy'? It's hot. The temperature has not soared yet, but the humidity is about 1000%. I just returned from a nice, short rest and was remiss in blog posting while away. Fishing, pool smoozin' and getting a tremendous sunburn kept me occupied. I always love being in Tishomingo County. Home; always was and always will be. When I shed this mortal skin, hopefully, my remains shall rest between my Father and Grandfather just outside of the town of Tishomingo. It's the northeast corner of the state and is rural, smalltown USA. People are not in a hurry and everyone is polite. People have vegetable gardens, flowers around their houses and speak to each other as they pass on the street. They know your are a "foreigner" if you don't wave as you pass by in the car. They still have street dances and heritage days.

My rant about the music nazis hit home with lotsa folks. I have had email suggesting not buying music cds, email bombing the RIAA site (good idea, can anyone find a true email addy on these criminals?), calling and writing artists, etc. Joyce of Tupelo says that these folks should return this poor kid's money. I agree. She also says it's a sad way for a young person to start life. I agree.

Waiting for the rain to start has been futile. Hi ho, hi ho, my yard now I must mow.
