We got to Birmingham, Alabama while it was still plenty light out and were greeted by Alex, Laura, Suzanne, Greg, their black cat and two little chihuahuas. Greg popped open a bottle of champagne and we had a toast. Suzanne cooked up the most unique and tasty of dishes, involving but not limited to fish, shellfish, figs, potatoes, and red onions. The two major subjects of conversation at dinner were developmental disorders and aliens. Later we watched a History Channel special on the evidence for alien involvement in early civilization. After that Alan and Greg stayed up late chatting about explorations of consciousness. The next morning after a traditional Tovar breakfast of eggs in the hole, Greg, Alex, and Alan went bass and brim fishing.
It was already approaching 11 when they finally got out there, and the fish weren’t biting under the hot Birmingham sun.
After calling it quits, Alan actually caught two bluegill while trolling a beetle spinner as we were bringing the boat back to dock. Back at the house after a quick shower Greg gave Alan some of his funky old ties and we were off, headed for New Orleans, Louisiana.
