11/2 Day something

We have been riding in Mississippi for a couple days now, and we are doing pretty well. We rode a whopping 95 miles yesterday or maybe 90, but still a shitload. The day before, we rode about 65, so we're covering some serious ground at this point. No reason to doddle around, we want to get to New Orleans to see our friends and party. Ben wrote about most of what's been going on, and my internet hour in the library is coming to a close so, I'll just add this.

We rode through some shitty town in the south here, and this guy said, "you know, you two ought to be careful around here, these folks are mean. They should be giving guns out at the county line, know what i mean?" Another clever euphamism for declaring his complete racism. I hate it how all racist honkeys expect, if you're white, that you're a racist too. I am so through with just laughing and playing it off. The south is a very depressing place. Easy Rider ain't no joke. Don't piss off the rednecks down here, they are serious.

We also got yelled at twice yesterday by two different young fellas in two different towns. They both said this same thing, "Ey! EY! Gimme yo' bike." So we figure that is the thing to do down here, tell strangers to give their bikes over. It's really been an uneventful couple of days, save the amounts of superman riding. Keep ya posted.
