It was our last day in Tupelo so we did all the last day stuff like stocking up on groceries and liquor. With the exception of about an hour yesterday, we have been in Mississippi for the last two weeks. We have driven the Natchez Trace from milepost 0 in Natchez up to about milepost 330 at the south side of the Tennessee River in Alabama. We have passed by magnificent buildings, beautiful countryside, plantations, a military park, interesting landmarks and met many very friendly folks. We did not discuss religion or politics with any of them. We have witnessed lightning and thunder that almost made some of my poo come out. We have witnessed rain associated with severe thunderstorms that seemed almost biblical in nature. It has been interesting.
In the morning we depart for Tennessee. One of the reasons we stocked up on booze here in Tupelo is the whimsical liquor laws in our next state. Some counties have liquor sales. Some do not. Sunday is right out for drunks caught short. Distilleries abound. It is truly a unique and bizarre arrangement.
