BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN: I don't really like to announce my itinerary in advance... but suffice to say that the I.C., the SydKyd, and your humble narrator have recently returned from a sojourn to points south (including Oxford, Mississippi, the St. Louis Zoo, and auf course Sikeston and Perryville, Missouri). So that means that first of all, we must update the SydKyd's Douwe Osinga States-Visted Map:

visited 14 states (28%)

We had a splendiferous time in the Southland, and if I can get the SydKyd a USB cable, I can upload photos from the trip (courtesy of her ubiquitous camera phone, auf course).

I think that the best way to visit the South is to eat barbeque until you're blue in the face, enjoy Southern hospitality (it's as real as the Pope is Catholic), avoid Graceland (Paul Simon notwithstanding), and sing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long. Heh.

And make sure that you don't miss overlooked gems like Oxford and Perry County.

In other news: I'm still working at the Co-op, and have (until today) been there literally every minute that I wasn't on vacation. Which may help explain the lack of posting hereabouts.

And in the Obamanation, where money grows on trees (unless you're one of the nearly one in ten Americans that is unemployed) government continues apace.

Kin I get extra anchovies with that?

I.C. ??

Don't forget Biden said their calculation was off for the unemployment in which means all their calculations are wrong!

I.C. = "Intoxicating Creature."

My original moniker for the future Mrs. Alois (see blog entries from May-June 2005).
