Leaving Tuscaloosa
This Lazy Daze doesn't deal well with temperatures much below 30 degrees. It's just not well enough insulated. The cold air slides down the glass, out under the drapes and out across my bed. It was in the high teens last night - brrrrr.
I'm headed generally westward. Down 69 through Moundville Alabama then west through Eutaw Alabama and on westward toward Vicksburg Mississippi.
First stop - Moundville Alabama
I'm writing from the foot of the large mound at the Moundville Archaeological Site.

Visual Thinkers
When I talk to other people I translate my pictures into stock phrases or sentences I have "on tape" inside my head. Those kids who called me Tape Recorder were right about me. They were mean, but they were right. I am a tape recorder. That's how I'm able to talk. The reason I don't sound like a tape recorder anymore is that I have so many stock phrases and sentences I can move around into new combinations. All my public speaking has been a huge help. When I got criticisms saying I always give the same speech, I started moving my slides around. That moved my phrases around too.
