I just went on a trip to Tampa and back, went straight to my hotel and the boat, used an old method.....ROAD MAP.

Had Dr. Ron really known how to use that map he would have realized that scooter and Shellie were 30 minutes from Tampa and he would now have a belly full of seafood that would have been purchased for him AND still have two friends.

Dr. Ron knew where you were,.,,,,but I didn't think you would want to have dinner at midnight on Saturday night......or have breakfast at 8 on Sunday morning.....but I might have been mistaken.

Seriously, I knew I had a very short window and it didn't leave much time for visitation. I wish I had had several days in Fla. I would love to have had a belly full of seafood........at someone else's expense....that is the very best kind!!!!

Thanks Shellie!

,,but I didn't think you would want to have dinner at midnight on Saturday night

I was born and raised in Kentucky. Friendship is not bound by clocks. You are forgiven this once. Don't let it happen again.

Okay Shellie....but you may not like it!!!

Well, Tennessee's borders were actually continued due west to the Mississippi River from the southern and northernmost borders of North Carolina. Tennessee technically began as counties within NC.

Alabama, on the other hand, while originally, in part, was part of the Province of Carolina under charter of Charles II, was also part of the Georgia land grant to Oglethorpe. Most of Alabama was included in a territory for Illinois Indians by George III in the early 1760's. See, it's all muddy from here. The southern parts of Alabama, near Florida, were contested by England, France and Spain, and the native tribes of course, who ultimately lost their claims. South Carolina actually tried to claim a strip between Alabama and Mississippi. Georgia tried to pull a North Carolina and claim everything to the Mississippi (NC had done as much with TN prior to its statehood). Congress established and expanded the Mississippi Territory in 1798 and 1804, and that pretty well zipped up where MS and AL are today.

But I stand by my statement.....because if it had not been for Tennessee during the civil war, those "other" states would not have survived.....lol
