Day Four: Whooooaaa Neeelllyyy!

I made it from Vicksburg, MS to Huntsville, Alabama in just under 6 hours Saturday. There is not much to report, really. The south lost the war because it sucks, from what I have seen, and I was very happy to roll into Huntsville around 4pm without any musket-wounds what so ever. This will be the boring blog, in case you hadn't realized that yet. I felt it was my duty to let you know before you read on. You have been warned.

What I do take exception to is the whole "Yankee" label. I can not tell you the number of people from Texas to Alabama who have had the nerve to call me a Yankee. You see, I'm from Southern Maryland, that gray area where the North/South line was originally drawn back in the 17oo's! I understand that some people may be upset that the Confederacy lost the war, but... they are all dead, right? Again, no offense to those noble warriors that fought for what they believed in and their way of life... but they lost, right?!?! Not to dredge up bad memories, but the Civil War ended in 1865. Don't you think it is about time our country got with the program and took that nasty step forward into the 21st Century? I do. And,apparently I am from the South, so I know of what I speak.

But I still think NASCAR sucks... unless Joe Gibbs' team wins, then it is divine retribution.
