We made it through the rains of Gustav in Alabama before arriving in Jackson/Flowood, Mississippi. Soon we’ll cut across Louisiana and Texas on our way to New Mexico. Yesterday we noted, not for the first time, how extremely difficult it is to get decent food while on the road. Just finding a grocery store is more than a challenge, and a Whole Foods? Not likely. Beth took some pictures to represent the smorgasborg of fast food and country cookin’ rest stops. Is this the American dream we’re invading…I mean fighting…abroad to protect? Who said that assisted suicide was illegal? It’s happening all over!
