You are what you drive

While many of you saw yet another blizzard and are facing growing snow banks and covered sidewalks and roads we have our own pile of *$(% on the horizon. The glorious state of Mississippi is issuing a series of 5 license plates to "commemorate the sesquicentennial of War Between the States. The tags are sponsored by the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The 2011 SCV license plate will feature Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis' last home, located in Biloxi. Officials say there will be a Battle of Corinth design for 2012, Siege of Vicksburg design for 2013, General Nathan B. Forrest design for 2014 and Confederate veterans tribute in 2015. The revenues collected on SCV plates go to the preservation of original Confederate battle flags in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Archive and History and to the restoration of Beauvoir."

I am quoting the Associate Press. This is also how it was discussed on NPR (they probably just read this news brief).

I will let you try to think of all the many reasons this irritates me.

But, enough of that. I'm sure you all really came here to see pictures of this southern beauty:

Evvy--up to 2 months

Enjoy!

And for those who are interested in statistics: At her two month check up Evelyn was 23 inches (90th percentile) long and weighed 9 lb 10 oz (25th percentile). Definitely her father's daughter.

Here's where you can see how she's grown:

Evvy and her orangutan. Watch me grow!
