On the Road - Mobile, AL
En route to Atlanta for the Epson Print Academy this Saturday, I stopped in Mobile, AL for a couple of meetings with a reseller. For lunch yesterday, we went to this great BBQ joint. Damn it was good food. I still smell like a mixture of BBQ and smoke - and I don't mean BBQ smoke. I mean cigarette smoke. Coming from Oregon where you can't smoke inside any public building, it was a bit of a shock to walk into two different restaurants where smoking is allowed. When you don't smoke, walking into it hits you like a brick wall. At least it does to me.
Anyway, I escaped the cold weather of Oregon this week - or so I thought. When I left Portland, it was about 33 degrees F and wet. Landing in Mobile, it was 75 and HUMID. This morning on the way to Mobile Regional Airport, it's a bit brisk. 39 degrees F by all of the electronic bank billboards on Airport Blvd.
Here's some Mobile, AL trivia for you. Did you know...to the delight of children everywhere, Lonnie Johnson of Mobile, AL invented the Super Soaker.
More later when I get to Atlanta.
