Y'all Come Back Now



Well, we went south of the Mason Dixon Line this week. The purpose of our trip was to visit our friends, the Clampett's, formerly known as the Beverly Hillibillies (pictured above). That's my wife, Ellie Mae Sue, second from left. Far left is Nurse Ritz Cracker and the couple on the right is Jed and Daisy Clampett from North Carolina via Beverly Hills, New Jersey and Pennsyltucky. It was a great trip. First day we went out on a tooth counting trip. We found many more people had teeth than we originally thought. However, some of them shared the same set of teeth and chewed alternately. I looked into why there were so many people without teeth and the reason seemed obvious after a few days. Everything in the southern restaurants is cooked in tons of butter, deep fried or has been previously chewed by someone else with teeth so you don't really have to chew yourself. Therefore, teeth become unnecessary. After the teeth hunt we decided to drive around and take advantage of the beautiful weather (104 degrees, humid and cloudy). We went to Davidson College in beautiful, downtown Davidson and took a picture just to prove we were there. Apparently, their mascott is a bronze wildcat.


We did not have a lot of time this trip so we left on Thursday. We drove straight through to come home (about 10 hours) with only one stop for fuel for us and the car. We ate at Roy Rogers in West Virginia and after dinner my wife let me ride the horse outside the restaurant. It cost 50 cents. Used to be just 10 cents when I was a kid.
We got home last night at about 9:30 PM and that ended our adventure. Next, wedding on Saturday, Syracuse and Cleveland next week and two weeks after that WORK again!!!! Bites

You have some serious issues. I think I have said that to you before though. Have you thought about seeking help?
