I know I still need to finish the story of my adventure to New Orleans. Just been a bit busy. In the mean time, I finally got a chance to upload my photos from the trip.
A Rough Start, but Still Loving It
RadicalWacko April 22nd, 2008
So, with short notice and good fortune, a chance arose this year for me to go back to New Orleans for Jazzfest after an extended absence. Also, owing to good fortune, this opportunity aligned with previously scheduled time off so as to allow me another of my grand road trips. Of course, you can’t have a good road trip without at least one good disaster. So far, this year it came in the form of a nasty sore throat which started early Sunday morning. It turned out to be a nasty case of Strep Throat. Thankfully, antibiotics still work and after after my first doctors visit in nine years, I was quickly on the mend.
However, the net result of the illness was that I got a very late start on Monday. So I spent most of the day speeding across central and eastern Texas with very little time for breaks. I slept at the beautiful Comfort Inn in scenic Longview, TX, soon to be featured in the upcoming essay “A short look at Longview”. (Thanks Mark)
This morning I got a pre-dawn start and made my way to Kilgore, TX, a down made and maintained by Oil and is darn proud of it. From there I wandered over to Jefferson, TX, a very well preserved 1870’s small town.
Northern Louisiana doesn’t offer much in the say of sightseeing opportunities. However, it makes up for that with vast stretches of open road where Dominique and I can frolic.
I made my way across the state and into Vicksburg in time to spend four hours touring the fascinating, if still very grim, Vicksburg Battlefield National Park. Tonight, I had dinner in the Cedar Grove Inn, an 1840’s estate which apparently survived much of the looting and destruction after the fall of Vicksburg due to the fact that it was build for General Sherman’s cousin by her husband. However, there is a cannon ball in the parlor wall that has never been removed, so it didn’t escape entirely unscathed.

We’ve been getting some descent flooding down here during this spring season. My friend Jason caught an interesting shot of some of the flood waters:
Seems like a dangerous drive to me.
Library of Congress Photo Collection
RadicalWacko January 19th, 2008
The Library of Congress has started posting some of their enormous collection of over 1 million photographs to Flickr with the hope that you can give them the tags necessary to improve their catalog. It’s a pretty amazing first start. Of course, I’ve spend hours at their main site, The Prints and Photographs Reading Room, which is a truly amazing collection. It’s nice to see that these truly priceless gems are still getting views after all of these years.
