HOME OF THE REDBUGS: The Lying in Ponds minivan is loaded up and ready to head west on I-40 this morning to visit family in Arkansas and Missouri. The usual routine: take the back way to avoid construction in Greensboro, lunch at Arby's in Asheville, over and under the mountains, past Dollywood, buzz through the blogging holy city of Knoxville, past the Hank Williams Jr. museum, past the Loretta Lynn Country Kitchen, stopping at one of the four thousand Cracker Barrel restaurants so that Pond Child #2 can order french toast and root beer. Among the places we'll visit will be my little sister in Fordyce, Arkansas, "Home of The Redbugs", and also the truly awe-inspiring but calorically dangerous Klappenbach Bakery. Before browsing through the website, how many fans can name Fordyce's best-known contribution to the world of sports?
While travelling through the 5th of July, I'll update the website as best as I can -- which generally means erratically and without the usual comments.
