So, when I saw this headline today from National Geographic, I was all like, "What? No..." and not because I wouldn't believe this. It's because I learned this thirty years ago.

I've written about this before in my previous blogs, but it was never very concise, plus there are new things to do since those posts, and eateries that are no longer around (which I am sad about). Considering that my hometown (& still current residence) is expanding and more people are finding their way to and through it, you might find yourself in this neck of the woods and wondering what to do.
While in the car with my dad yesterday he started talking about something he'd read online, about personal freedoms where Mississippi was ranked the lowest. "Do you know of any freedoms or rights that we no longer have, but did?" I just shook my head no, because I didn't feel like getting into an argument with him, though I had a pretty good idea what this all might mean.
So, this snake had set up camp in the backyard right outside the window near the house. It no longer lives there.
I keep seeing Thrasher T-shirts around town, worn by young college age kids, and it just makes me think about my random year long subscription almost twenty years ago, as well as the other seemingly random and curiously cool things I acquired through the ads in the backs of magazines.
A friend recently had a baby, she's going to get him vaccinated, however, he's still too young. The measles outbreak has spread recently to a state near her. She's worried. Someone linked to a podcast about Anti-vaxxers. I generally don't listen to podcasts, but now I'm sucked into this one and want to listen to other ones, however, I'll just be discussing vaccinations in this post.
Y'all reading this may have never even heard of Holmes County before. That's it marked out up there in the NW Central region of Mississippi, straight above the state capital of Jackson. If you're unsure of the map, I've screen captured the Miss River on the left with a bit of Louisiana, and the state line over to the east with Alabama. There's still a portion of Mississippi to the north and south (though I included my town of Hattiesburg for reference).
