Berry and I drove east from Memphis on Highway 72 and drove across northern Mississippi. It was our intention to bird the Tennessee River valley where it lies in northern Alabama. It was overcast today and cloudy, which makes it good for birding.
We saw Cliff Swallow nests of mud on the underside of a bridge over the Tombigbee Waterway in the Divide National Wildlife Reserve.
At the Tishimingo State Park, we walked a short path into the woods to look at a small pond. We noticed there that an enterprising beaver had chopped down about twenty small trees, trying to stop up the flow of water from this small pond.

I will not describe our dinner experience any further than to say only that a good waiter should avoid displaying his disputatiousness directly toward the customers at the table. It is cliche to say that the customer is always right. And, soup, which is not gazpacho, should never be served cold.

disputatiousness...wow had to look up that definition.they picked the wrong couple to be "disputatiousness" with.Anne
ReplyDeleteThe waiter changed my order in front of me, sneered verbally at my food preferences and actually served cold soup to Berry. It was amazing.
