Today I am going to pick up where I left off last time, which is where the Natchez Trace Parkway enters into the northwest corner of Alabama.

The Road Trip: A Positively Indispensible Part of the College Experience

This summer I had the opportunity to engage in an activity which is an absolutely, positively indispensible part of the college experience.  No, I’m not talking about Spring Break.  I’m not talking about having gobs of people over to my place for wild parties where everyone gets wasted and the cops get called.

The purpose of this post is to disavow you people once and for all of the insane notion that Louisiana and Mississippi are back to normal, because they are not–not by any stretch of the imagination.  If you think that they are, then you need to think again.  These pictures will show you quite clearly that [...]
