Default Driving Point through Dixie with Oklahoma Plates

Well the lightweights are dropping out but the party continues. Course you boys had a head start on me.
Spent a 2 day Civil Wargasm with fred and Larry. Went to Stones River and Chickamauga with F & L, then me and L went to Shiloh.
I'm going to do a seperate post on these when I get back and post pictures. There's nothing as moving to me as walking a great battlefield, I felt the same way when I walked the D Day beaches last Falll. The weather was gorgeous at Shiloh, Fred, you missed a good thing.
Tennessee and GA are beautiful places and my trip has taken me through a lot of raht purty places. I knowed thet things had changed some when I got to Atlanta and the first person I talked to was a Mexican. I'm glad I didn't bring The Woman or she'd be wanting to move down here and bring the pitbulls
I love a good road trip, waking up in a strange motel every morning in a new place,finding new junk food restaurants, sadlling up the ol PT Cruiser (its what they gave me this time) and riding on into the next town. This is the first time I rode in a PT cuiser and am unimpressed but it does have a good CD and CC. I like the OK plates too, theyre misleading as to my real identity--it makes communicating witrh other drivers so much more--oh, whats the word I want?--unrestricted!!!
Guess I just watched too many of the Elvis movies--my fantasy is cruisinginto town with the lads, whipping ass on the local bully in the malt shop thereby saving the local beauty from embarassment, then that night everbody's with the hotties singing and dancing down at the local hot spot. (Oh yeah it always happens like that--if yr Elvis) Now I know Elvis never got it wet on screen and was not all that good a role model in some other aspects but HEY!--the dude could score in any language.
Meeting the boys down in Psyco Foothill (Sorry Boys, but I'm from CA) was the best darn thing that has happened to me lately--you know what it was ? THE SQUAD? You remember!!Andy, DAnny, LT, the SARGE, Charlie Cigar, The Farmboy, Sgt Rock and the Jewish kid from Brooklyn. Much of my past recently on the net has been trying to figure out where I am in comparison to other vets with similar experience and I can say: I love you all but I'd still rather be me.
I mean I think we have formulated our own SQUAD now. with everything but rank--well I mean SOME were rank but who's holding grudges lol. And I came away thinking that I don't want to do anythjing but make the bond stronger
Re: discretion--whatever happens at Psyco Mountain Stays at Psyco Mountain. OF Course!!! It makes blackmailing that much easier
Well, I'm posting this from Larry's house in Memphis--going tomcruise Memphis, then tonight I'm meeting pighumper downtown. Then tommorrow, adfter the parade and receiving the key to the city, it's Ho for Baton Rouge to pick up The Woman, then to the Crawfish Fest. We'll be staying with Dave E in Zachary. Hey RON!! Gonna be there at the 'Dad Fest??? Be there or be square!!

Later for now

James
