there’s a group of old-timers who meet once

a week at the City Cafe here in Decatur and

they always play the coffee game. Big corn

festival this weekend at the Farmer’s Market.

Plenty of free corn-on-the-cob for all . . . best

thing is, you don’t need to wear your bed sheet or

hood!!!

Hi Jeff,

my wife and i, ex Arizonans, now live in Alabama and we like it here

but the comment was meant to be a slam to some of the racist mentality

that still exists in this state . . . actually in AZ too.

Actually, folks i know here are not racist,

but i have seen some racist slurs posted on a few people’s cars.

people here in Alabama and the south are extremely polite

to all. more so than i experienced in my 60 years of living

in Phoenix.

Hey, you don’t know how many friends kidded us when we

told them we were moving to Alabama. it really is a beautiful

state and is filled with Civil War history and WWII history (think

Tusgegee Airmen), the birthplace of Helen Keller, many well-known authors,

bass tournaments, a lot of famous musicians and, unlike Arizona, it has a lot

of rivers that actually have water in them!
