My severe case of spring fever has gotten worse…

I do not know what type of pollen hit the air late last week in South Mississippi but what ever it is has my sinuses in full rebellion.  That part I can take but the meds just about make it impossible to coherently write anything substantive.

That said here are a couple of links:

Saturday AROD emailed me inquiring if I knew Tom Freeland’s father passed away which I did not.  On behalf of AROD and the Slabbed Nation I express our condolences on Mr Freeland’s passing.

Mississippi’s Tort Damages Cap has been overturned by Coahoma County Circuit Judge Charles Webster.

You guys that know the lay of the land feel free to share your wisdom in comments.
