Wanderlust

Lately I have had a bad case of Wanderlust. I think a great deal of my search is caused by the current steamy heat wave crossing Mississippi. Another aspect is the City of Jackson's inability to deal with crime and a shrinking tax base. Generally when I get a case of Wanderlust I call up my good friend Patrick Moore who lives in Covington, LA. He is quite "worldly" and has lived/visited many places in the US. Patrick made a comment that I find true.....basically, it is hard to find Southernisms (food, hospitality, humor and overall joy of life) in locales not visited by high heat and humidity. This has me thinking.....and basically cooled my wanderlust for the time being.
