Ole Miss
Well, yesterday made it down to Jackson, Mississippi. The trip was smooth though somewhat exciting. Not all my twitters came through over Jott for some reasons. But.. up in North Batesville there were two big fires. One was a small wheat field I actually got pictures of, the other was further west and I can only assume it was a wheat field as well. I only know cause I pulled off at a gas station and asked. Was a good thing too cause they had my Sobe "Lizard Lightening" (Orange Mango combo that I can't find anywhere anymore). To tell you how big this fire was, the smoke rose up so high that it hit the upper levels of the atmosphere. The top part was going east while the long column under it was blowing west. Then when I'm leaving the gas station I see the flames in the field BEHIND the station. OMGWTF! So yea, I have pictures on my phone. I should post them later.. after I find it.
Further south there was another fire on the east side of I55 near Canton I think. Don't know what that was. Didn't seem as bad as the Batesville fire though.
I did stop by the big factory outlet mall in Batesville a few miles after that truck stop. Got a good dress and some new shoes as well as a much needed pair of shorts. After I crossed the Mason-Dixon line I started to die in the car. Gods I love the south. Today I take rhast down to New Orleans. It's a long story but his sister is getting married and my car is a -little- bit better than his so I'm driving him down there for it. Bonus is I get to see New Orleans with a native as well as see Kev and Cat. Only downside is that I now am driving home on Sunday but that's ok. I need to call echuir and see if he's off work on sunday.
