Alabama-Tennessee-Kentucky

I'm making a three day run through Birmingham, AL, Humboldt, TN, and Murray, KY. The Birmingham folks are wonderful as usual. The show tonight is at the Alabama Theatre for the Performing Arts. It is absolutely beautiful, a real treasure preserved by the people of Birmingham.



The people in Humboldt, TN are the definition of southern hospitality. They couldn't be more giving. I get to shoot hoops with Jay against the guys from Rush of Fools. Big fun.

We hit Murray, KY in the middle of the night. I wake up in my bunk thinking someone is shoving the bus back and forth. In reality, it is high winds, remnants from Hurricane Ike, I guess. Looking out the window onto the Walmart parking lot where we're parked, an unmanned, high-speed shopping cart race powered by the driving wind is in progress. Shopping carts are traveling at high speed down the hill, then crashing into the curb. Fortunately, none hit the bus or any cars.
