I've only heard bits and pieces but from what I've heard, it sounds to me like they didn't charge him correctly. They're going to be hard-pressed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Murray gave it to him. Having it there according to many is possibly illegal or a violation of medical rules, but how do you prove that Murray gave him the shots? Supposedly people have seen Jackson injecting himself with stuff before and a druggie knows how to take shots and Wacko Jacko was a druggie extraordinaire. To me, and admittedly I've only heard bits and pieces and there's a lot of trial to go, but so far, screaming reasonable doubt. Possibly another case of prosecutors trying to charge for publicity rather than a conviction.

:) Maybee, I feel the need for speed, when I travel such long distances. If it was spring, or summer, I would go per bike, and prolly use your route. ;) I put both ways in my routing program and came up with 648 miles, in about 10 hours and 21 minutes, or using your route 651.2 miles in 11 hours and 26 minutes. Not shorter, but longer in time for sure, cause speed limits are lower when not using the interstates. I would love to get together with KT members, if possible. So far, all I ever met were super nice. Not a single ax murderer. :) Moni

I'm going to hold off on giving the B&B a review - there is really no rush to do it, and I have notified them of the hazard in the bathroom, which for me was the killer. I'm just glad I was able to catch myself when I did slip in the bathtub, but it wasn't easy. I believe that the owners are a group of young people and they might get large groups of young people as well, since they advertise as being able to sleep five, but then the condo would be more like a youth hostel. This may also be why they have a $90 cleaning fee. They thanked up for leaving the place very clean. I did not get around to food reviews before: Day One at Central Market: bought corn and flour tortillas, some fresh pico de gallo, three types of Brie, sliced deli turkey breast, a bottle of Chianti, a bottle of a Sangiovese blend, a couple of pints of ice cream - I chose coffee flavored and Kevin chose double chocolate - a package of flatbread crackers, a small package of extra sharp Tillamook cheddar cheese, a couple of cans of frozen orange juice, and a six pack of Negra Modelo. I think Kevin got some Dr Pepper also and another six pack of beer. This was way more than we needed for five days, but we had planned to leave all of our leftovers at our sister's house, and so I did not worry about a small amount of excess. I wanted to give her something in her time of grief anyway, and I know she hates grocery shopping. Our bill at CM was $145, which seemed a bit high to me, but the main thing I found expensive was the wine, but each bottle was under $20, and I think that is our normal limit in L.A. Without realizing it, I had bought jalapeño corn tortillas, which was not what I wanted, but I was okay with them. It had not occurred to me to check the package for ingredients, as they looked like regular tortillas,, although there were some odd spots in them, which I thought were just burn marks. The Brie was not as good as what I get at Gelson's or Bristol Farms, but it was still much better than regular supermarket Brie. Over the week, I ate it with the Sangiovese (blend) wine, which was good, but not as good as what I am used to. Kevin opened the Chianti and said he didn't like it, and so we recorked it to give to our sister. The next morning, Kevin went to Upper Crust Bakery to get pastries for breakfast and coffee for him. I had my pastry with tea. Day Two, as I said before, we went to Pappadeaux for lunch with our sister and then took leftovers with us. We had lunch at 2 PM, which is very late for DS but early for us on Pacific Time. I had a seafood platter and mostly just ate the shrimp and fried oysters, but I started with the stuffed crab, which is my favorite. The red beans were extremely spicy (which I like) and so I mixed them with my rice but did not eat much of them. I ended up with two large pieces of catfish, stuffed shrimp, and the beans and rice. After Pappadeaux, we went shopping at Phoenicia Bakery/Deli and bought tabbouleh, hummus, smoked eggplant, lavash (made in Los Angeles), a large muffuletta sandwich, a fava bean salad, a packaged Swiss roll made with hazelnut cream, and a package of Italian wafer cookies layered with chocolate - the ones that come in a rectangular package and you have to break them apart. I bought these to have with the ice cream. The bill there was $50, and my credit was declined, and so I had to call my bank to find out why. They told me that they did not like Phoenicia Bakery and had frozen my account, in case of fraud. Kevin's card worked fine, but I had cash as well. From there we went to Spec's Wine & Liquor Store because Kevin used to go there, and it was the closest liquor store to Phoenicia Bakery. This was an especially good store, and I found a much better bottle of Sangiovese there, which we brought back and haven't opened yet. We also bought some Irish whiskey for Kevin and I bought some goat cheese (from France, although they had Texas goat cheese as well) and a few other things that I cannot remember. Day Three (Saturday) was the memorial service - we had pastries for breakfast and lunch at the memorial service, which I was not expecting, since I had bought lunch items the day before. The day we were leaving, we dropped off the following to our sister: the bottle of Chianti, four bottles of beer, leftover fava bean salad, tabbouleh, smoked eggplant, hummus, leftover ice cream (we only ate about half of it), half of the Swiss roll, half of the wafer cookies, and the leftovers from Pappadeaux that Kevin and I did not eat, except for the catfish, which I took back with me. I probably left her the red beans and rice (which I wanted), although it might be too spicy for her, but she can give it to some of her guests. Overall, I was very happy with the food, and I think I convinced Karen that she should shop at Phoenicia Bakery, since it is just a few blocks from her house and only one block from her church.

Funky thank you for sharing your trip experiences as well as some great photos! Your SO is a cutie 😊 and seems like a very good person. Love your writing style too. With that being said just suffice to say that I do not possess that ability 😉 Our trip to Savannah & Charleston the week of May 26 -June 1 was great. I’m not sure which one I enjoyed more but suffice to say the food in both states was excellent. Fried green tomatoes, Mac & cheese, collards, corn bread, hoppin john , pimento cheese ( thought of MtnRd) fried chicken, pecan pie etc … had to try cheesy grits but sadly not a fan … think it’s a textural taste. Weather was warm (high 80°) People we met at hotels as well as on a couple tours were the best! I actually met 3 young ladies in a Tommy Bahamas store who were from RI and I remarked about my observations and they agreed.
