Good morning! Hope you’re having an awesome Thursday. Just one more day until a three-day weekend. But don’t forget why we are getting the long weekend.
A quick few links (because I have to draw).
I have nothing but respect for Smithville Mayor Gregg Kennedy. Now the Small Business Association does, too.
LIVE (as opposed to what I don’t know) TWEETS about the S.E.C. Tourney.
Stennis Space Center in South Mississippi is one of the state’s least known-about gems. One of the many functions that goes on there is rocket engine testing (it was created to test the giant engines on the Saturn Five.)
Dude jumps from 2,600 feet without a parachute and lives to tell about it. Sounds like me doing my radio show every single day.
Sorry, if you wanted to buy the vile of Ronald Reagan’s blood at auction — it’s now off the market. I wonder if they could have used it like the old guy at Jurassic Park and made an army of Gippers.
Madison County and Tupelo Schools will only teach Abstinence-Only sex education. Parents need to step up and fill in the gaps.
From USA TODAY: Cadillac’s XTS’s carseat shakes to warn drivers of danger. I went to a motel room that had a bed that did that, too.
Dates set for two out of three inmates for their executions at Parchman. Attorney General Jim Hood’s office had asked earlier this month that justices set execution dates for Henry Curtis Jackson Jr., Gary Carl Simmons Jr. and Jan Michael Brawner on June 12, 13 and 14, respectively. But now they won’t be back to back.
Who’s going to be at the Mississippi Museum of Art watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
United airlines will no longer allows families with small children to early board. Probably will charge to check them in baggage, too.
The New Orleans Times-Picayune survived Katrina. It may not survive the changing media market. Damn.
Our local school board also voted to teach abstinence only. And folks wonder why MS has the highest rate of teen pregnancy.
