< Southern Comfort - Cowboy's Journal >

A journal about things I do and places I go. Southern Comfort was originally about my 2010 motorcycle trip through the south, in search of a little Southern-style peace of mind. Over time, the blog evolved into a biker-related journal, with stories about my experiences with people, places, and things! If you want to see what I'm up to, Welcome! Start anywhere, but to ride along on the 2010 Southern Comfort trip, it's best to start at the beginning. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy. Ken, aka Cowboy

Bourbon Street, Friday Night

This is just a short adios to New Orleans, and what a great time this has been. If you haven't seen Bourbon Street on a hot weekend night, leave the kids home and get your ass down here. Now. Like many things, you just have to see it for yourself.

It's been a special pleasure having my friends Linda and Charlie joining me for the past 5 days, and it's simply been great fun to explore NOLA together. I'll miss them as I get back on the road tomorrow.

Charlie even kept the party spirit alive after some idiot cut him off, knocked him off the bike, and left him lying in the street. I'm happy to report he's just scraped up, and was a valuable resource tonight, pointing out interesting sights on Bourbon Street I might have missed. And Linda pointed out things the pair of us missed!! And since it was Linda's bike that Charlie was riding, she's taking it well too. Except maybe wanting to choke the shit out of some hit-and-run driver.

Tomorrow morning I'm packing and will make the decision on which way to turn when I reach I-10.

Nite y'all,
Cowboy

!! MISSING SC PHOTOS !!

A few (as of 9/23/2012) of the approximately 139 Southern Comfort posts are still missing pictures due to a change in Blogger that I didn't anticipate. I keep working on them, and I'm getting there, but there were a total of about 60 that lost the pix, and this really turned out to be time consuming. Each frickin' picture had to be found on my hard drive and republished into the post. Alas, some posts were just deleted; I had no idea where the pix were.

I've re-published many of the recent posts, and lately, I started back at the beginning, working forward. One of these days, I'll meet in the middle and be done with it. So yes, there are pictures missing, and no, it's not anything to do with your web browser.

Content / Article Searches

Southern Comfort has outgrown any imaginable proportions, now including posts and articles of all kinds, now dating back a couple years. If you're looking for anything in particular not viewable on the home page, use the search widget in the upper left-hand corner of the Blog in the menu bar. Enter a keyword or phrase and see what comes up.

For example, type in "Pitbull Lift", run the search, and you'll find all posts that mention Pitbull Lift. Then you can use the CTRL F function to run a page search to find where the search keywords appear.

High-Resolution Copies of Photos

I was recently asked if I had high-resolution copies of photos in this blog or from the Snapfish links in the right hand frame of this webpage. Except for a few that I shamelessly stole from others' Facebook pages, I have many of the newer (say mid-2010 forward) pix in hi-res format. The file size is typically 2-3MB, and some are even larger, up to 10mb. Files of that size are great for enlargements, wallpaper, or whatever, and even zoomed, the detail is good.

If you want one, or a bunch, I'll try to help out. Send me an email and a thumbnail of the photo you want. Keep in mind I can only send a few of those large files in a single email, and sending several emails with large attachments might fill up your email box.
