Hi from the Pink Flamingo State

[infrogmation]

Hi from Gainsville, Florida. Ms Hollie and I visited my brother and his wife here (or rather on their land just out of town).

On the way here we stopped through Tallahassee, where the museum has a nice Napoleon exhibition. (Hm, the Bush family has control of Napoleon's hat?) We had lunch at a locally recomended place "Goody's", where we had sandwiches which were so amazingly bland that they reminded me of the Red Cross sandwiches specially formulated to stay stable for months that were being handed out when I first got back to New Orleans. These had perhaps a molicule more taste than the emergency sandwiches. We had them on what was supposedly "sourdough" bread and with mustard; good thing we didn't have them on white plain. I hate to think how bland they might have been then. They might have broken the matter/antimatter barrier, swallowing our tongues into a black hole of anti-taste.

This morning we visited the Devil's Hearing Aid Millhopper Park. Right purty for a sinkhole.

Hi Crystal.

Hm, we should have arranged something, but sometime we'd like to visit you in the Tampa Bay area-- Hollie's never been there.

We still had 4 cases of that Anheiser-Busch canned water in the trunk of the 1965 Valiant convertible when we took it out to drive my brother around the devastation...

The "Floodweiser" water isn't bland, it's nasty tasting. I still have a six pack plus a can. The single can I have on a shelf as a souvenier; I had thoughts of handing out the cans of the 6 pack at Krewe du Vieux but didn't bring them.

You know you're from the Gulf Coast if you have Mardi Gras beads and MREs in your trunk.
