My wife and I just got back to Kansas from 8 days of visiting our son in Huntsville. This was a near perfect vacation. There were minimal delays at the airports and very few hassles from security. We got to do all the touristy things, such as the space center and the botanical garden etc. My son works on Redstone arsenal in missle defence and you would be surprised how many guntoting rednecks the government has working for them. We got to go shooting about every day. We didn't make a dent in his ammo.
On the fourth of July we went to one of his friends for a pig roast and home made fireworks. One of his co-workers makes his own black powder and constructs his own fireworks. Very impressive! He had some aerial bombs that still go BOOM!
We had lots of good food and all the people we met were like family.
I also got to spend about an hour in Larry's Gun Shop fondling guns. He has about the nicest selection I have seen.
Good company, good food, lots of shooting, friendly natives, lots to see how much better could it be? Thanks Alabamaians!

Yep! Alabama has a lot of good things going for it.
Had to leave for the north many years ago-hated to go....sigh!

Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home
I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs
Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line
Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night
Had to learn about the ladies, too young to understand
Why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away
To some other guitar picker in some other late night place
Yeah, held on to my music, I let the ladies walk away
Took my songs and dreams to Nashville then I moved on to L.A.
Up to New York City all across the USA
I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say that my
Home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred
What keeps me goin' I don't really know
Can't be the money Lord knows I'm always broke
Could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood
When the people really love ya and let you know when it's good
Oh I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
And someday when I make it, when love finds a way
Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with pride and say that my
Home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred
Southern born and Southern bred
Little people talk about people,regular people talk about things,and big people talk about ideas.

Great people, great deer, quail, and pig hunting, not to mention beautiful women. For the last three years have been able to get to Birmingham during the Talladega races, wild and crazy fans. After careful reconsideration, maybe I do like Alabama.

Never been to Mobile, is it anything thing like Biloxi? Had to go to Biloxi a couple of months ago, was pleasantly surprized.

Biloxi has casinos. Mobile don't. Too many preachers.
