Local Bars
Hi y'all.
It's been over a month now and I'm still hanging out in Pacsagoula, MS. I've met some nice folks and found some of the "hot spots" in the area. I'll be heading home for Thanksgiving, leaving on Wed afternoon and driving back on Monday, so it will be a nice long weekend.
When I get back, I'll be changing hotels, moving into an area where I spend most of my off time anyway. I'm in a regular room now with a small fridge and microwave but moving to a nicer extended stay hotel with a small kitchenette.
Last weekend I went to a place called Miss A-bama's. They had an exceptional southern rock/country band playing to a packed house. My back has been feeling pretty good lately so I danced a bit. First time for that since dancing in India with Jules... I had a great time, fortunately without getting to drunk since when I walked out of the bar there were cop cars all over the place. I have been drinking alot recently and have decided to cut it back so lately I've been just sipping beer and it takes me more than an hour to get two of them down so I should be OK to test if requested. I went up to one and asked what was up and he told me that the parking lot late at night has had some rather violent problems in the recent past. He asked me if I had been drinking and I told him yes but not excessively and would have no problem driving and he seemed to agree but I fully expected one of them to follow me out but they didn't. Next time I go I'll make sure I leave earlier in the evening.
There's another place, The Jazz Club, much smaller and no band but it's a nice place to meet people and apparently a lot safer than Miss A-bama's.
I still haven't made it outside the local area but may head to New Orleans this weekend.
More another day...
