@maiden_memphis Hmm. That doesn’t look at all like @Meddlesomebrew_ , pride of Cordova, and home of some of the best craft beer in Memphis.

“He figured there must be a flower blooming somewhere in West Memphis, though he had seen no sign of one.”

I'm not saying we should all get the day off work or anything, but ... five years ago today, "Long Gone Daddies" was published. https://t.co/VSV2kdyB42

Really fine list. No arguments here whatsoever. OK, well, maybe not enough O.V. Wright ... https://t.co/zqorKnAZze
