Thunder is rumbling around the Ramsey house this morning. I’m heading to Tupelo this afternoon to do my show live from the Elvis Festival. I’ll be surrounded by Elvi and will have Paul Thorn on the show.
Here’s a short story I wrote in Elvis’ honor called The Tupelo Traveler.
OK, here’s some news for you — provided by others and linked by me.
NYC is banning super-sized sugary drinks. Great — just what that grouchy bunch up there needs: Something else to make them grumpier.
Did you see the Hatfields and McCoys on the History Channel? (Kevin Costner is missing, though) You weren’t alone. 13.1 million of your closest friends watched the biggest family feud of all time. Good stuff.
Good luck to USM Senior Myverick Garcia who is Miss USA Mississippi. She’ll be competing for Miss USA.
Bad news on the economy front (isn’t that all we do is bad news?) Jobless claims up for 4th straight week. Planned layoffs by companies jumped 53% from April to May. As Scooby would say, Ruh Roh.
When scum gets scummier: Syria shells sight of previous massacre.
Hurricane Season starts next week. And we also have the disaster known as the Sandusky trial. I’m ducking and covering.
Search continues for the missing Copiah woman Linda Reed after a false report about her being found.

When I was a kid, space ships landed on runways: SpaceX capsule to splash down today.
Tim’s birthday is today as well.
Enjoyed your show today, especially the interview with Paul, and your reading “The Tupelo Traveler.” Your producer is a nut-and much more lively than Jim. Y’all seem to have a good rapport as well. Here’s hoping you are giving away tickets to the MBraves game for Friday night. Tim loves him some baseball!
