Greetings from Tide Country

On the road again,

Just can't wait to get on the road again

dumde dum dum dum de dum dedumdedum

Greetings from on top of the world.

Yup, I knows it's been a while, but I've sorta been getting around since football season closed out.

I started out from right at the close of the football season and went to Dallas, TX. From Dallas I ended up In Kansas City, MO and then to Kansas City, KS. Don't ask it's a long story.

Then I went to Little Rock for a while.

And now I'm here.

Surrounded.

The cop who pulled me over on 280 raised his eyebrows and asked "How does a guy with Missouri plates, have Tennessee Volunteer stickers on his truck end up in Alabama?"

Actually what he said was, "Ow duz eh gi wid Misuri n playts, in does dadblamed lousy coon fearin yeller bellied orange luvin Tanacee stikemups inup in Halabama?"

I just grinned and asked if he was going to let me slide on the 60 in the 55.

I am in Birmingham. Well sort of. I'm between Birmingham and where the Tusks are Looser, or Tuscaloosa. Be here for at least another week or so, maybe 2, then I'm heading to Jackson TN for a unknwon period of time.

I've been following the Vols Football process and I still say the jury is out on Kiffin: Only because I haven't actually watched a Vol Game yet. Otherwise he has managed to stir up much adieu about nothing in less time than it takes to talk about by putting himself and the program right where it needs to be anyway: Front Page.

I'm staying tuned, and now that I've finally gotten a decent laptop again (my other one didn't make it. It jumped off a ledge and committed suicide after the whole Kiffin/Spurrier debacle. It was never big on soap operas) I'm hoping to be around a bit more.

In the meantime keep it real, and I'll try to help keep yer cellphones on for ya.

Thats a big Maybe for you Bama fans however :) I didn't get out of that dadblamed ticket either.

I misread that the first time through

and thought you were going 280 miles per hour.

That’s a fine little piece of Americana, between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. I love any state where you have long stretches of interstate and nowhere to pull off and pee.

You can ALWAYS pee on corn...

I figured you were just going to say...

…that you can just pee out the window while driving, since nobody else is around anyway. But that works, too.

I feel your pain

I’ve been “fortunate” enough to spend 5 of the last 11 months in the “lovely” state of ’Bammer.

Also, please tell me that your laptop jumpped of a ledge of one of the towers you’ve scaled…that would be awesome! :)

Sadly...

..no. But if it makes you feel better it was inside the station house or what we lovingly refer to as “The Pill Box” at the base of the tower when it committed it’s final BASE jump of defiance against the cold calculated Urban Meyers tilted world that we live in
