The Diaries: Texas and first feel of the West
May 29th First day in Texas. Short night on driver’s seat, feet propped on passenger seat, at a gas station. Planned to make it to Holly Beach but had to rest. Beautiful dawn like few so far (reminded me of the one back in Saratoga Springs, driving through South Louisiana, dew rising into mist, lakes … Read more

The diaries: Refinery coppers
May 27th – Refinery coppers My love story with law enforcement continues. Today almost got rough. Felt like it was time to get away from the French Quarter and other districts usually frequented by tourists. Drove out East and South, initially hoping to make it somewhere along the peninsula and get a touch of the … Read more
The diaries: New Orleans’ Saints
May 24th Have been increasingly discomforted by mugginess and lack of a proper shower. Have also begun, despite all my initial hate of the idea, tying my hair with an elastic band since Natchez. (Add to that: Got murdered by mosquitoes and other kinds of wild river-bugs over there, a necklace of red sores.) Actually … Read more

The Diaries: Edison’s Trait in a Straw Hat
May 22 Been driving some good miles over past two days, straight past Birmingham and stopped by at Tuscaloosa (Black Warrior). Met some sad scenes of tornado destruction. Ended on the bar walk at dark: Tuscaloosa’s young ones and gals thirsty as ever. Went to ‘bed’ early, as usual, while drunkenness poured through the night … Read more

The Diaries: Of Sororities and Macro-B
May 19th – UGA #1 rank party schools Got some insider info about the recruitment process from a sorority girl I met, must preserve her anonymity: 1200 recruits, unsure how many more candidates. I’m guessing about 25-50 different sororities? Recruitment week: One of the exercises consists in talking to a paper plate, in order to … Read more

The Diaries: Grey Chattanooga, Atlanta on Coke
May 16th, 17th Chattanooga. Have a most unpleasant time here. Remember me mentioning those two hot-dogs in Nashville? Anyway, since yesterday lunchtime in Lynchburg have had stomach cramps, lingering. After truly nice drive through Tennessee’s hills and mountains (coming to southern tip of Appalachians), though I stuck to the highway for various reasons, including gas … Read more
The diaries: Nasvhille, Tennesee music and whiskey
Friday May 13th – Stetson country Nashville: home of Stetson hats and cowboy boots. When does the myth start / stop, when does it become reality, and finally when does it become cliché ? A couple real cowboys, but many people here have never set foot on a farm, more of a fashion. Some bars … Read more

Here’s a quite long entry with notes from leg through Kentucky, photos and video soon hopefully. Feel free to cherry pick. Cinqo de Mayo – … Read more

The Diaries – Cincinnati Fun
May 3rd evening Arrived in Newport, KY, after mistakenly taking bridge over the Ohio river, ended up in the recently built mall that overlooks Cincinnati’s skyline. A rough-whiskered and capped bartender tendered a solid Jack and Coke, then a Classic Burger, Swiss cheese and mushrooms. Had considered going to Hooters (for the first time, decided … Read more
The Diaries – Midwest, Dayton and aerophilia
May 1st evening Sleep near Lima, Beaverdam. Find a lot, aside a field, maybe a small retirement community? Park inconspicuously, close by a barn bearing the inscription ‘Jesus’ on the roof, which is why I exited there in the first place. Lima News: “US kills Bin Laden” After morning burger at Lima’s Katch Newspee, took … Read more
