Serendipity

Through pure dumb luck, I have discovered two Mississippi institutions
in one evening.

The first was the Blue & White Restaurant in Tunica, where I enjoyed
the decadent tower posted earlier. I found it by driving past it; I
love finding locally-owned restaurants, and that certainly fit the bill.

The second was the Riverside Hotel in Clarksdale, where I'm currently
writing this. I'll write more later about Rat and his establishment,
but suffice it to say that this is the most unusual inn at which I've
ever had the good fortune to stay. I found it via my phone; I drove
past it twice in the dark.

Whacked

Someone took a weed whacker to Missouri's trees. Apparently an ice
storm was followed by a wind storm this week. Along I-55 near New
Madrid, I'd say at least 80% of the trees were hit, with most now
being 20-30 feet tall. Pretty ugly.

The Travellin' Blues

Here I am, cruising towards Memphis and Clarksdale, listening to the
blues on XM, and I left my harmonicas at home. All this practice time
wasted.
