I love to visit Southern California but I like Southern living. Just simple things like in my town of almost 100,000 right outside Nashville folks on the opposite side of four lane roads still pull over and stop out of respect when a funeral procession is meeting them.

Re: Another reason to love Tennessee
Thanks so much for calling and stopping by to see your old friends in Jackson!!!! NOT!
However, I wouldn't have eaten at the Old Country Store, because you leave smelling like fried Ho-cakes! But I would have given you a big hug in the parking lot - in a most platonic way, of course.

LOL!!! If it had been earlier I would have called but it was about 8 pm and I had a long way to go. I really do want to get by and see you guys and also the new church. I was thinking about you and Eddie while I was eating.
I had one of those Ho-cakes and way too many hush puppies along with some good ole turnip greens (or collard greens - I can never tell them apart), butter beans, and grilled and fried chicken! It takes a lot to maintain my physique but I am committed to it.

You are the best thing about Memphis! Well, you Beale Street and Texas De Brasil. You know good and well that if you live in Nashville you have to hate Memphis.
Plus don't forget Memphis is where my son in law got robbed at gunpoint by some brutha's. Not only robbed but forced to drive his car at gunpoint around the city and to an ATM.
