Car Rental Agent: I know what a reservation is

Jerry: I don't think you do. If you did, I would have a car.

Used Jerry's line at restaurants a few times.

Correct. Read the novel. Call and McCrae were polar opposites in personality and temperament. TLJ played Call to perfection.
His show is 85% conspiracy theories. He fully believes Candace Owen’s theories about the Charlie Kirk assassination. He did do some good work on COVD and the Mueller investigation.

Did this in 1993. Started in Monument Valley. Drove through Mexican Hat up the Moki Dugway (Overlooking Valley of the Gods). From there we went to Arches, Canyonlands NP. The Bicentennial Highway (Rt 95) is a spectacular drive. Runs from Blanding to Hanksville. This route takes you to Natural Bridges and not far from Capital Reef NP. Hwy 12 is not far from the park. You travel down the Escalante Staircase to Bryce. Zion was the final stop in Utah. We spent 10 days driving and camping from Moab to Zion. Utah was not a popular destination in the 90’s. Not so much today.
Jane's Addiction. Lollapalooza 1991 Dallas. The entire band. Dave nearly fell off the stage several times.
Agree. Summers and winters are brutal. Virtually no water for many miles in either direction north of the river. Have primitive camped multiple times in the park. Had to pack water in everytime regardless of site (desert or Chisos mountains).
So much irony in that interview. How many people need prerequisites (discipline, self-awareness, limitations, etc.) before drinking. A 'self-aware" individual would understand the alcohol is already in control. Normal drinkers don't require per-conditions or significant self-reflection. He may be the exception, but most fail when they venture out to do more field research.
Desoto State park is not far from Lookout Mountain (Mentone, Al). 6 hour drive from Slidell. About as mild temperature wise as you will find in August unless you go further north.

We stayed 3 nights at the Foley House Inn (Chippewa Square). Walked everywhere. Eat at the Olde Pink House.

Charges to his lacarte card were suspicious and flagged. Triggered an audit of purchases. Alcohol cannot be purchased with a state issued credit card. All purchases must be itemized for reconciliation. The alcohol and other items were listed as room rentals on the bank statement. Therefore someone falsified the invoice. Alcohol can be purchased through a foundation. A separate route that does not require the lacarte card. This was not a simple clerical error. He was able to resign but stay employed until the end of the fiscal year. Any other person would have been terminated. I’ve seen loyal employees with many years of service let go during the budget crisis. Most were give less than 24 hours notice. This guy got off easy. Those taking up for him are friends and have little understanding about the guidelines, requirements and reconciliation of charges to state issued charge cards. I saw him on the local news yesterday. A PR tour. The reporter asked no tough questions. Par for the course. The have done zero investigative reporting on the 50 million dollar budget deficit

Highlands area
Bryson City area (near Smoky Mountains)
Blowing Rock (Northeast of Ashville)

We will be in the area mid-July
Not likely. Texas has strict guidelines for aggravated crimes. He will need to complete 50% before parole eligibility. Most likely, will be denied parole on his first hearing (even with good behavior). Victims family will be notified before parole hearing and allowed to talk to the parole board. I just went through this process.
Most likely, he will be sent to the Ferguson unit. This is where they send 1st time youth offenders. It's a notorious "gladiator" farm, known for violence. Hard to accumulate any good behavior in a element where you need to fight (literally) for survival.

Agree. We stayed at the Harbour Cottage Inn in Southwest Harbor. Bar Harbor is just on the other other side of Acadia NP, an easy drive. We did some day trips into BH. That was plenty for us. Very busy and touristy.

Joe Cabot asks Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) about Alabama in Reservoir Dogs. A reference to the character in True Romance.
