My vacuum cleaner sucked up my Jimmy Martin picks!

Question

This was very traumatic. I took the whole thing apart and got them back. I swallowed my gum. It was the main part of my afternoon. It was an accident - I had hidden them in a safe place which I had forgotten about and decided to vacuum today. I VACUUMED MY JIMMY MARTIN PICKS! You should have heard the yeowll I sent up. Now they are safe. This will never happen again. Never never never! I felt the universe stir. They are on a satin pillow now. No wonder my dog barks at the vacuum cleaner.Yesterday I went to the Gulf Coast (Biloxi and Gulfport) for the first time since Katrina. Oh my God! It's so horrible. Along Hwy 90 where all the beautiful historical old homes were is just trash and debris. It looks like a rural garbage dump. One huge casino is now on the other side of the four lane highway beached. I took pictures from a moving car window which came out pretty good. I'm going to post them on my website soon, although they are depressing.

I had to see it first-hand though. I love the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I just read (did not know this) that these two towns provide one fifth of the nation's fish, shrimp, and oysters. Or at least they used to. I did my early courting there and got more suntans than you can imagine. Had bonfires on the beach. Went to my first nightclub there.

On a more on-topic note, I watched the Coen brothers' "The Ladykillers" which I had avoided because of bad reviews. Well, I enjoyed it. A lot. It's over the top (like O Brother) with it's southernisms, but I laughed out loud several times. Might be worth a watch if you were avoiding it like me. I love the black lady.
Hope everyone had a good holiday. And Merry Christmas, damnit!

Suzy, Suzy, Suzy! WHAT are they doing out from behind glass where you could pick them up with a vacuum cleaner! Good lord, girl! You gotta mount 'em under glass like a gold record.

That's frightening. But most of the nation's oysters, according to a source I heard, come from New Orleans, which is even more frightening. In either case, but especially in the case of NO where the chemical and sewage pollution of the water and beaches will last for decades, oysters are off my menu for a loong time to come! Well, except for Pacific oysters, maybe. But they're not the same.When I lived in Biloxi, my neighbor across the back fence was a Cajun fisherman who owned his own shrimp boat. He was rather like the neighbor on "Tool Time." I never saw his whole face, but about once a week when I was out in the yard, he would call me over to the fence to chat (he had gorgeous eyes), then hand me a big bucket full of shrimp he'd caught that day and tell me it was a "little something" for my husband and I to have for dinner.

I would guess there had to be eight to ten pounds of shrimp in each pail! Boil 'em in a big old pot, heads and all, with a bunch of parsley, a whole head or two of garlic and enough beer to cover by at least an inch and you've got some good eatin'!
Then there was a drive-in bar on the west side of Biloxi. I kid you not! And waitresses would bring your drinks on a tray that hooked over the driver's window just like a regular drive-in! Saved the drunks the trouble of getting out of their cars and staggering back to them. I was veery cautious about anybody pulling out of that place! That was way back when Elvis used to come to town in his pink Cadillac convertible. I think it was pink. Who notices the color of a car when Elvis is driving? '-)

Merry Christmas/holiday or whatever we're supposed to be calling it these days, Suzy. I hope all y'all are doing real well. (now that you got your Jimmy Martin picks back!)
