There’s something about fast food that tends to scramble my brain even as it satisfies my stomach. The drive-through lanes are bad to induce dementia once I enter them. I can’t figure out where the microphones are when I’m ready to give my order and what the speakers are saying when the drive-through server asks…

Apparently I was living under a rock this past weekend. When I got into work Monday morning, I was asked by a couple of coworkers if I had heard about the new state holiday. I hadn’t. It seems that CBS, the SEC and I’m guessing Auburn and Alabama, in their infinite wisdom, decided it best…
