A COUPLE of weeks ago I drove to Alabama. I drove through Louisiana and Mississippi to get there. And an interesting thing happened on the way to Alabama.
I passed many, many road construction crews in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama working under the hot glare of the summer sun. I saw housing construction crews in some of the cities I drove through — Baton Rouge, Jackson and smaller towns — and in the college town of Auburn, Ala. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in Auburn. I ate at restaurants all along the way to and from Alabama.
