Got wind that Gov Tate has reopened Biloxi Beach in Harrison County. Two weeks ago I was here, but the cops were patrolling on their ATVs in their feeble attempt to keep folks off 27 miles of shoreline. It’s hard to ban Mother Nature – it’s a whole lot easier to lift the ban and just implement social distancing.

After dropping off the Schneider trailer, I beat feat to Elba, home of the world-famous Dorsey Trailers. I picked up a dual stack of flatbeds heading to Dyess AFB in Abilene, TX.

I got to Biloxi Beach just in time before The Reef closed for the night. Ordered my obligatory family meal and a growler of Crowd Control. Even got a pina de colada and margarita. Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner and it’s never too early to celebrate. Then I went for a much craved and well-deserved twilight swim in Biloxi Beach. The fish were jumping, not used to seeing a human going for a dip this late. The stars were twinkling as I basked in its light on the sparkling white beach. The shoreline was lit up in incandescent and neon. All around me the squawking sounds of least terns nesting their eggs in the wind-swept sand. And up above nocturnal birds dashed through the sky like a shooting star.
