In a bit of a surprise, we had some foul weather move through the Deep South last night. Some bad thunderstorms kicked up some tornados all over Mississippi, causing damage in Yazoo City, Pontotoc County, and Calhoun City, just to name a few places. Tupelo got slapped pretty hard, too, and that’s especially worrisome as … Continue reading Monday, May 3, 2021

Fair warning. I’m not feeling great - nothing serious, just overall crappy - and have only the slightest interest in doing this. Plus, it’s been pissing down raining all day and I use that as an excuse to do nothing more so than usual. It’s been a stressful couple of days here at Enon Holler … Continue reading The Weekend: May 1-2, 2021

I’ve been pretty much out of pocket all day and really haven’t kept up with the zeitgeist. So, since it’s Friday and I know we’re all tired, we’ll just run down the feeds. As the Great One said, away we go. In COVID-19 news, we here in the States are getting a leg up on … Continue reading Friday, April 30, 2021

A quick service announcement before we get started here. Over the weekend, I received some feedback via one of the other social media sites on which this inevitably gets posted. Those the person “looked forward to the answers” to the questions they posed, it was obvious they were not asking in good faith nor had … Continue reading Wednesday, April 28, 2021

A personal note before we get the week rolling. I got my second shot today, joining the 664,000 plus of my fellow Mississippians in getting the job done. Far as I can tell the microchip still isn’t working but my arm is a bit sore. I’ll be looking to do some traveling now that I’m … Continue reading Monday, April 26, 2021
The Weekend: April 24-25, 2021
Welcome to the weekend, friends and neighbors. We made it through another one. People are still dying of and getting vaccinated for COVID-19, people are still getting shot, either by the police or by each other, and your taxes are due. But, hey, we made it through a Spring week without the Deep South getting … Continue reading The Weekend: April 24-25, 2021

We’re at the end of the week, so let’s wrap things up. Heads up, Southern neighbors, we’re supposed to see some nasty weather before tomorrow morning comes around. While we seem to be catching a break on mass shootings, we’re still dealing with cops killing folks under hinky situations. Andrew Brown Jr. was shot in … Continue reading Friday, April 23, 2021

Guilty on all counts. Four words that shocked a nation, some pleasantly so and others gnashing their teeth with rage. Regardless, former Minneapolis Police Department Officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of second- and third-degree murder and third-degree manslaughter in causing the death of George Floyd last June. The jury began deliberations Monday evening and … Continue reading Wednesday, April 21, 2021

Well, we topped 50. I don’t know why this wasn’t reported this weekend, but a mass shooting occurred at a kid’s birthday party in Laplace, Louisiana, about 30 miles upriver from New Orleans. No one was killed, thankfully, but nine kids were shot - the oldest being 16 and the youngest 12 - with two … Continue reading Monday, April 19, 2021
The Weekend: April 17-18, 2021
This has been an exhausting week, man. I’m not speaking personally. I really don’t what’s going on, maybe it’s the zeitgeist or maybe it’s just what the national media’s focus is on, but y’all, these shootings need to stop. By Friday, we were up to 147 mass shootings on the year and 45 just since … Continue reading The Weekend: April 17-18, 2021
