Texas to Tennessee

Had a really good time with C & MK.

I crossed the Mississippi today at Memphis, officially crossing into the land where you’re asked whether you want your iced tea “suhweet or uhnsuhweet, hon?”

Watching CNN makes me twitchy. All that crap on every inch of the screen is just ridiculous. It makes it hard to focus on anything at all.

Today was my longest drive in terms of point-to-point distance: 470 miles, from the Fort Worth area across the whole of Arkansas to Memphis. Tomorrow’s leg to Lexington will not be quite so much distance but will be almost as long timewise, as I plan to take some back roads and take a little detour through the area where I was born.
