Life is Better with a Southern Accent

Apparently, "Life is Better with a Southern Accent" is either the motto of or a popular saying in Little Rock, Arkansas.

I know that I heard a camo-wearing woman in the Flying Fish restaurant (where the salad I ordered came in a huge, metal mixing bowl with two pieces of spicy catfish on top) speak with pretty much the best southern accent I have heard. Three of the walls were covered with Billy Bass signs (plaques? devices?), many of which had scarily non-decomposed French fries in their mouths.

The catfish was good though.

I was concerned about having dinner the next night at another "flying" restaurant: The Flying Saucer. Was it going to be an alien-themed place? Oddly, and reassuringly, it just had decorative plates on every wall - and the ceiling. The beer list was impressive.

This was my second quick trip to Little Rock, and there's a lot to see that I didn't see. I came home determined to go back for a vacation with my bike (and my husb).

Meanwhile, I tell you whuut, I'm fixin' to git back into winter ridin' here, start figurin' out springtime things for my bike team, and send out my fundraising links, ya'll.
