We were looking at tomorrow's drive, and considering a northern route that would take us through Vicksburg to see the Civil War battlefield. This would involve a run up US Highway 98 in Mississippi, and given the weak storm moving through the Gulf, it's likely we'll run into a bit of rain. So, what do you do...you check out YouTube to see if anyone has written a song about the road you're thinking of traveling.

Alas, any highway that has a song with the word "Bloody" in the title written about it is pretty much immediately disqualified when our young son is in the car. So, tomorrow, we will do battle with the 18-wheelers on I-10 instead of the killer curves of "Bloody 98". Google "Louisiana highway 98 traffic accident" or "Mississippi highway 98 traffic accident", and you'll see what I mean.
Also, a bit of bad news - I've learned that Enola Prudhomme's Cajun Cafe, just north of Lafayette in Carencro, has closed. This is a true heartbreaker, as my wife and I enjoyed one of the best meals we've ever had in this restaurant many years ago, at a fraction of the price of her brother's place in New Orleans (which we had eaten at the week before). Enola's food was miles better than K. Paul's at about 1/4 of the price.
