Where's that Squirrel?

Yes its a Pascagoula Day. We travelled along I10 to the grand metropolis of Pascaguoula, the very same town made famous by Ray Stevens in his record, which can be seen on You Tube . This song was the basis for Connie's Skit at her party in 2008, which still makes me laugh. Oh dear, that has set me off looking at all those other Ray Stevens videos that are on YouTube: The streak, Bridget the Midget, Gitarzan, Ahab the Arab. Then there are at least a dozen more, oh my goodness. AND he is still going, The New Battle of New Orleans is particularly poignant, as we have just been there, and Katrina is still the biggest thing in Louisiana (The reliability of the Canal Street Ferry and the Pascagoula Squirrel Revival [even though that is Mississippi] excepted). This is just a quick overnighter though and we plan to move on to Blackwater State Park later this morning (Saturday).
