Now that TD has a store, Chicken really needs to compile all of your top 10 lists and put it in a nice leather bound book.

I almost never read the text of your posts, but I often examine your pictures. I like to look at the reflections, trying to find the picture within the picture, the one you didn't intend people to see.
As someone known to value their anonymity, I can appreciate your acute awareness of your reflection in pictures and the lengths you go to protect yourself. For example, positioning yourself on the side of the tv in your hotel to snap this picture, knowing your silhouette will show up on the smooth plastic surface of the soda.
How about this gem from your misadventure at Buc-ee's? Many wouldn't have noticed the smudge of color on the right glass to hide your reflection, but I did.
It's become a bit of a game to scroll through your pictures and look for easter eggs. But the more I find them, the less exciting the whole thing becomes. The mystery fades. You showed us your white shorts and blue tshirt in the reflection of the golf cart in Fairhope. You showed us your green shirt and your ring in the reflection of the gas pump in Nowherevilleingtonburg, Alabama. But the most blatant was a nearly full body shot in the cobbler's window--your frame, your build--enough to piece the mental image nearly in its entirety. I won't say from which trip that is from, but I know you know, so I implore you to erase that one particularly so this stays our little secret.
I'm telling you this now because I fear you're getting sloppy. Today we see you back in your blue shirt and beige pants in the reflection of several ornaments on the trees. Yes, several. If you wish to remain anonymous, please be more careful.
Always watching,

I'm guessing Tulane isn't a Wesley's Boobie Trap kind of guy. That would be an interesting top 10 list.

I saw it live when he did it **one** time. 'Bout fell out of my chair laughing as the almighty Saint Spann de-lurked for a split second and joined the rest of us mere mortals.

I did see that and got a good laugh. We were watching a lot of the coverage because my wife's entire family still lives between there and Birmingham.
I've been there before. My wife and her mom went black Friday shopping one year maybe 15-17 years ago and a few of her cousins took me there

Fascinating post. One-upping Tulane in one of his own threads is impressive. As was his post to be fair.

I love driving by cotton fields in central and north Louisiana. It really is fascinating to see.

Friends,
Grievous, I hope you are planning on joining us for the watch party at 10 this morning. The link is on the Arts Board (some still refer to it as the Movie Board). The movie is remarkably compelling and hits a chord in the soul that calls us to pilgrimage. It was well worth the five or six hour drive there.
OweO, I had hoped to host our Christmas caroling and hot chocolate party this year for all our OT friends. Perhaps next year, if not sooner. We still could gather for a Mardi Gras party or lobster steam.
fallguy, I am honored to have walked on some of the same brick tile flooring as you.
ellishugh, of course I did not sit there. I do not touch surface in public except the ground. I use gloves when I have to touch door handles.
Team Vote, amen.
Mr. Rockford, please bring better taste to your brethren.
hollow, we may have to do a trip to Jasper, TX next time. Are there any interesting malls or staircases there?
Ryno, it is always my pleasure to share with a friend like you. Thank you for reading.
Meridian, thank you for your suggested itinerary. That sounds like a lovely voyage. Is interstate exit for Highway 181? That is what the Google map shows and I want to be sure that is the correct exit. The Walmart at Coinstar sounds enticing. I hope it is not one of those Neighborhood Markets. One thing I will tell you that I absolutely despise about the state of Alabama is the grocery tax. 10% added to every fruit, vegetable, and slab of meat you buy in the store. Now I know that New Orleans charges a local tax for our groceries, but it is paltry and hardly noticeable. 10%, though, is egregious. This tax hurts the poor and encourages people to eat unhealthily at the drive-through and restaurants. Taxes should dissuade unhealthy behaviors, like alcohol, tobacco, and restaurant food that usually tastes so good because they add so much sodium and fat. Alabama lawmakers need to change those grocery tax laws or I will buy my food stand groceries elsewhere. Speaking of groceries, we normally go to Joe Patti's when in that area. No taxes, of course, and they have quite the selection. One of the posters of the Food Board is an oyster harvester in that area and has offered me respite and boarding should we ever make it down there. If we go in a few weeks, I shall inquire to him about his oysters.
It is providential that you mention Jesse's Restaurant. Mother and I had talked about making a trip to the Fish River Christmas Tree Farm in a few weeks. We were worried that all their trees died in the hurricanes of the last two months. Now that you recommend that area, we most certainly will go. Thank you ever so much for your suggestions, all of which I shall take and one day share with you the outcome.
Muff, now I am filled with regret that I did not stop in Cordova. I traveled through the time by an amazing modern device called Google Street View. I am sad to report, that as of 2014's last recording of that area, downtown appears to have been razed. I know they suffered terribly from those tornadoes last decade, and the street view would indicate that another Alabama small town not only is dying but in fact is dead. There are but scars in the ground remaining, that and weeds and a suspicious grid system with streets going to no buildings. I did see a nice, compact, and new Piggly Wiggly. But I go to see the old main streets and town squares, when communities were communities.
Technical, if my morning Thanksgiving preparations are completed soon, I shall share my Birmingham observations. I must confess, though, that I was there but a few hours, so my impressions will be superficial.
yattan, I so want to move to a farm, but I fear that when I do I will miss city life.
WaveFan, thank you deeply for those historical bits. It makes me appreciate the area even more.
LSUBFA, we were passing the cotton fields at just the right time. I think photographers call it the golden hour. God has painted such beauty all around us and I am glad you enjoyed that picture.
touchdown, I would rather Chicken sell Bibles and the Book of Common Prayer in his store. Those would sell better.
link, I appreciate your keen observations and thank you for your counsel. One note is that on my trip to Jasper, I was wearing navy, not beige, pants and a royal or navy blazer. I believe the technical term is Yale blue. It was a smashing outfit, one that Joe, the owner of Joe's t-shirts, and friend of Mike, said was, "Debonair."
fallguy and Doctor, we passed that terrible place. Cousin joked about it, in the presence of his child, no less, and I spent the next five minutes preaching Satan out of the car. It is disgusting and a sign of the South's decline as a sustainable civilization that such places of iniquity are present.
Yours,

If you ever do end up in Elberta we will have to do lunch sometime after I move down to that area.

Friend,
Perhaps on our next trip east of Destin I shall convince Mother to stop in Elberta. She absolutely adores the Sweet Home Farm, which produces the best cheese in all the Southeast. The only good thing to come from this pandemic is that Sweet Home Farm, for lack of business from premier restaurants, has begun selling to the general public again. See their FB page for contact information. Every late May or early June, we visit Cassebaum Farms to get a hefty supply of silver corn and a variety of delicious beans. Meridian Dog would appreciate Cassebaum's if he has not been, and I suspect you will too. The heirloom tomatoes this year were exceptional.
Perhaps you did not see this thread from the past summer: TulaneLSU's Top 10 things enjoyed in Elberta and Foley, AL. I would be honored to break bread with you.

Tried watching the mall movie last night. I fell asleep the first time during the game of dominos. Then permanently succumbed when the old man on oxygen made the smartphone joke. I tried.

Friend,
I work running a business and cannot make your morning watch party. I did waste a half hour watching Jasper Mall last night.
There is nothing of significance to see in that movie. Those malls are all over the country. Was that a surprise to you? People just like the people in that movie are all over the country too.
Some movie producer is laughing uncontrollably at this thread and at the Amazon and a subset of the American population that would find such a amateurish, shallow production worthy of attention.
You have certain talents---use those talents find something productive that actually contributes to society and the economy to do. Your days as a street car operator were more important to the community you love than the time you took to travel to Jasper, Alabama, make the pictures and post a thread on TD.
Happy Thanksgiving

Friend,
You are missing a beautiful story about a beautiful people. I am sad you are not joining us for TulaneLSU's Jasper Mall watch party on Amazon, Wednesday 10:00 AM. The chatroom is open and the movie starts in just nine minutes!
