For anyone who enjoyed the first two Mumford albums, the new one (on spotify today) sounds absolutely zero percent like those. Its not terrible, just not really even the same sound. Whatever I guess.
Stocked up on some new summer gear at Orvis. Couple linen shirts, new trunks (no board shorts, Booker), new loafers... Cancun in two weeks which could get interesting being that i burned after about 40 minutes of yard work over the weekend. Never been to Cancun and I know some arent fans of the all-inclusive resorts, but whatever I am a big fan. This one includes golf and excursions as well so it should be aight.
Heading down to Tuscaloosa this weekend for Mother's Day. Was informed that we are going to something called "Decoration Day" on Sunday. I inquired about WTF that means, and apparently a component of southern lore is to place flowers on the headstones at small cemeteries. I've been around my wifes family for about 7 years now and this had never come up before. My wife and her family used to do this annually at the cemetery on her family's land- but hadnt been in years since her grandfather became ill and never could get out there. Family's land? Apparently somewhere along the way i also never knew about her families (grandparent's and their siblings) "about a thousand acres or so" about 30 minutes north of Tuscaloosa. I dug around a bit more on the internet, and sure enough- there is an old family cemetery out there, complete with a lot of unmarked graves from civil war soldiers. Also supposedly there is a creek with healing powers that runs through the land.
My old neighbor, (probably 80 years old) called the cops monday night around midnight because he saw a "suspicious guy" hanging out in front of my house. He was apparently watching Jimmy Fallon when he saw the guy outside. So he GRABBED A RIFLE (I believe his standard issue rifle from his time in the service, circa 60 years ago) and went outside to tell this other man to move along... turns out it was a guy who was a shift worker at VW and had just got home from work and was taking his dog out for a walk. Police came out and everything.
McDonalds hashbrowns always FTW. I get a couple, cause 1 just aint gonna cut it.
