I had to cut through a sliver of Alabama when I drove from Northern VA to Pensacola, FL and back again. Seventeen hour trip each way, only stopping for gas and some food. Couldn’t do that now.

Steer clear of those Alabama county bulls. They’re still upset over our Sherman’s Atlanta activities.

I don’t know why they call it “Mobile”; it’s not going anywhere.
