Observations from Mississippi's Gulf Coast

There are many people in this campground; there are many dogs in this campground and there are many people walking dogs in this campground. Now, I'm not ashamed to admit, I'm not too
old to learn something new--I didn't realize that in order to get their dogs to poop on cue they
give them a doggy treat. I can only imagine how different my life would have been had
I been treated thusly--but I want you to know, a doggy biscuit wouldn't have accomplished what
was desired. Well. o.k., maybe a chocolate chip cookie-----! lol

I always get a kick out off watching the dog walkers--you see little bitty women walking huge dogs; while big old men are walking tiny little dogs!

Jim and I like to try new places to eat while we are here. One was a chicken buffet. I'll bet you think there is nothing unusual about that, but it was not an "all you can eat" buffet, but a plate- full buffet. For $7.49 you get a plate and a small bowl for dessert and your drink and dessert
are included in the price. It turns out they also served fish--and they didn't care how full you filled that plate, and some people had it down pat as to how much that paper plate WOULD HOLD! I just thought it was an interesting concept.
We got all excited about a new restaurant but on further examination, we discovered it was
a family-style restaurant. We don't care for that type of service--as we don't eat that much.
O.K., I know what you are thinking--"Well, you look like you eat that much." All I can say is
you are entitled to your own opinion.
We have re-discovered the Whataburger restaurants, as well as Chick-filet. I don't like
hamburgers except at Steak and Shakes and Whataburgers, so that has been fun. When we are at Gulf Shores, we had to cross over into Florida to eat Whataburgers.

I brought three books with me and bought 2 more at the Millions of Books store and all WERE REALLY good except this last one--and I can't keep my focus on it. Oh well, I can always go back to that book store.

Alabama/Florida people are concerned because they keep finding dead dolphins washing up on shore and they are finding many were aborted births. Most people who study such things
feel this may be caused by the BP oil spill. Everyone is very concerned since 52 dolphins have been found dead on beaches, so far this year.
********
The weather has been unusually warm this spring--in mid to high 70's and fog nearly every night--which means humidity is extremely high. I don't get along well with high humidity
but it is supposed to cool off tomorrow and get to more seasonal temps so I'll look forward to
normal Feb. temps here in Mississippi.
******Till next time---------
