Rusty,
I went through most of that area on highway 98 (not
a great road in some parts), got to Pensacola and headed North on the back
roads to see some of the Country and experience the Southern Hospitality - bad
mistake!
Although should have seen the writing on the wall,
a couple of nights before a young lady ( Southern Bell) tried to pick me up in a
bar at some place before Fort Walton beach. Being a married man I had to decline
the offer, however the missing teeth and hairy legs weren't an
incentive.
I was talking to the barman there and asked what
the local industry was and to my surprise he said Ostrich and they actually
exported most of them. I was surprised as I said we have the same sort of
thing in Australia, but their called EMU, but their tough eating and I
couldn't see how they could makes an industry out of them -10 minutes later
after discussing this further, it turned out he was talking about
oysters.
I've got a thousand of these stories - why I ask,
does everything happen to me?

Where do you live
Rusty?
I've been in the Greenville Jail, but got
out of Alabama as soon as I could after that, I only relaxed after I found I
was in Kentucky.
Hi George,
If you escaped from the Greenville Jail, and headed
about 190 degrees, you'd be over the Gulf of Mexico in 100
miles. I'm about 4 miles before you get to the water. At that
point, it's Florida, not Alabama.
I haven't visited the Greenville Jail, but I do know
that they have a long history of speed traps along I-65. If I hadn't
sold my FD, I'd probably be in a jail somewhere now, and I'm not
kidding.
Nice people but couldn't understand English
- well, except for their version of it. I'm not saying I couldn't
understand them - it's just they couldn't understand me. Having said that most
Americans can't distinguish between the Aussie accent and the English
accent.
One of the lads (Southerner) wanted to know
what part of the East Coast I came from and I told him I was from down south -
God D... he said - how far south?
LOL! That's hilarious. Not much I can add to
that... :-)
Rusty
