Heading out Saturday morning. Quick stop in Kansas City to pick someone up, then on to New Orleans.
Anything worthwhile checking out?
Or should I just get drunk?
Just get drunk and look for ghosts. Where you going in GA?

Gus, could you please make a side trip to the Grand Canyon and do some overdue cleaning. Its getting a bit dusty. Don't forget to dust the crevises, too.

Definitely check out the cemetaries in New Orleans, Gus. They're beautiful, in a spooky kind of way. All the tombs are above ground because it's below sea level there.
And take lots of money for food. Great restaurants in New Orleans...lots of 'em. I recommend Mr. B's Bistro (owned by the Brennan's folks.) Or any of the dives out by Lake Ponchartrain. VERY fresh seafood, local color. And stop by Central Grocery across from the French Market in the Quarter (Vieux Carre) for an original muffaletta. The best sandwich ever.
Try to get by Preservation Hall in the Quarter some evening for live music. It's the best.
And don't forget...start your day out with cafe au lait and beignets covered with powdered sugar at Cafe du Monde across from Jackson Square. It's tradition.
I love New Orleans. Even though it feels like a steambath this time of year.
I love New Orleans, although I've never been in August. It will probably be a steambath, but hey, get drunk, eat 'til you can't eat no mo', catch the tunes, and crawl up onto one of the horse and buggies along Jackson Square and take the cemetary and garden district tours.
We think of N.O. as Disneyworld for adults. Great city, great food, great music.
Would you stop at the Day's Inn in Valdosta and pick up my toilet kit. I musta have left it there the night the 2 groupies came up to my room
Well, Gus, if you're going to Georgia, you need to see Savannah, cause that's where the garden of good and evil is located. Lady Chablis is there as well.
In Atlanta they say: What business are you in.
In Augusta they say: What church do you attend.
In Savannah they say: What would you like to drink.
Go to Red Fish Grill on Bourbon St., and get a red fish dish. It is good.
Then, proceed down Bourbon St., stopping at every bar and doing a shot with your beer. GET PISSED! If you're cool like me, you'll then start purposely offending women.

Someone in particular. I sure as hell wouldn't stop in Kansas City if I didn't have a damn good reason.

A damn entertaining book and I have always meant to make a stop in Savannah, but I don't think I'll make it that far east.
But maybe.

Ok, I'll get drunk. I won't look for ghosts though. They'll find me.
I'm actually not sure the exact location in Georgia, but the person I'm picking up in Kansas City will be deposited at the Appalachian Trail. Thus the Georgia jaunt.

I'm planning on doing that. Probably fire up a few doobies beforehand.

I do enough of that here. On the road I am a perfect gentleman.
I was trying to post as quickly as possible, George, so I could have an entire page of Ratzenhofer avatars.

That's the way I like it.
I'm preparing myself for Hell.
