“Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the Titanic who waved off the desert cart” – Emma Bombeck

That’s how I feel at the moment. There is so much to do, see, eat and drink. Yet so little time.

Memphis is different to  what we have expeeienced thus far. Big town. Bloody hot. Apparently the south has had a mild summer, but we are now copping it – 100 degrees everyday day, and “feels like” 109 (you know how much I like that term – how the hell does any wetther burea person know how I feel?

Another magnificent day today – Sun Studio, and Stax records  - all this music history makes me yearn for more research. And while I am aware mant tourists travel south from Nashville/Memphis on there magic musical tour , the best way to do it is travel north. That way you learn of the older blues influences  which led to the advent of rock n roll. This is a life experience right ther, ya’all!. I am in the throes of expanding my musicval tastes – a lot more listening/research to be done.

The afternoon was spent on the mighty Mississippi in a paddle boat – unfortunately not a steamboat,, but with a paddle wheel nongtheless.  I had catfish today so gthat really closed the book om my culinary wish list for the south.

Annd no visit to Memphis is complete for a beer lover without sampling the wares of the Flying Saucer. Scores of craft beers on tap, several of them sampled. Our dream bar business is nearing fruition given our networking. Another hard day, due to heat and lack of sleep ( a really really bad night in the hotel resulting in a change of room) but that’s for another day). What I can say is evaporative cooling does not work well when the temp has been 100 degrees for several days. And the nights are not much cooler.

Paradise! Hope its waermer where you are.
