Memphis II - Exodus
... comedy: You know what the best thing about Memphis is? Making it out alive! ha ha haa.... Really, folks. Heh. Memphis was a doll. A well-loved, dragged along-the-ground-and-then-thenderly-chewed-on, crusty-about-the-edges kind of ...
Poor Boys and Pilgrims

Our firts day in Memphis
We flew out of Atlanta really early so we could do some "touristy" things before the registration event at night. We got to Memphis, took a cab to the Hotel and started our tour. First we went to The Peabody Hotel to watch "The Duck Walk". ...

To Nashville and Beyond
... the coast for an ascent up 95, but any time spent at the weather channel shows that Hotlanta and the other mid Atlantic/southerly states are not warm. They are chilling with that persistent Canadian front to the point that they are as cold as what I'll ...
Going down south to dream another dream..
Maybe check out, Memphis Tennessee... We drove through and it smelled bad. We were making great time, and I took no pictures. We were only here for about an hour, so I really didn't get a good taste for it. I sure did get a whiff of it. Gross. At least ...
Memphis
... we headed back to Sun Studio to do the tour. It was a guided tour and was really a great tour. I suggest anyone visiting Memphis should check it out. The girl doing our tour was so in to all the artists and the music it was great how she conveyed ...

Sweet tastes sweeter with the bitter
With the boring ride yesterday the sweet ride today was even sweeter. The day started pulling into a garage to get a drink and as I pulled in to park the bike shut down. Oh no. All the nightmares of riding a Harley have come true. With ...

The South Revisited

Elvis and our damn cat, Mochi
