Ok! We need details about your trip!
OK, this is for all those inquiring minds that want to know. 
I get up at 4 am to drive the hour to the airport and make it for the 6:10 flight. I make it to the airport on time, but the long-term parking is way out in the far reaches of the airport. I have to ride a buss to the terminal. The first buss leaves before I get to the pickup spot. !0 minutes later the next one if full as it passes me. I start to worry a little, because I was cutting it to close, but the third buss comes a couple of minutes later and I get on it.
However, as I am going thru security I here the last call for my flight. I quickly get my shoes and belt on, although not thru all the loops and I make it on the plane. The flight is uneventful.
To back track a little, on Thursday night, Pam and I are talking on the phone. She tells me that her mother says to remind me about the infestation of love bugs that happen twice a year in the south. They are everywhere this time of year. As the plane pulls up to the ramp in Jackson, I look out the window and I see two bugs mating on the glass, and many more flying just outside the window.
Pam picks me up at the airport. Although we have been talking on the phone for months, we both are a little nervous and there is some awkwardness at first. As we are driving the 100 miles from Jackson to her place, we decide to stop for lunch. We are trying to choose a place when I see a sign that says "Smoky Mountain BBQ". We decide to stop and it was a good decision. The food was excellent and we spend about an hour and a half sitting and talking. The nervousness goes away.
(To be continued)

LOL,
It is a picture of a piece of sculpture and the shutter was left open as I moved the camera.

It is a photo of lovebugs that BeckeyZ sent me.
Is that photo from somewhere in Australia?

I took that picture on my trip out to Kansas City last spring. He was on the Plaza next the the JC Nichols fountain. I liked him much better.
What did you want to know about it, Kerr?

What is it called? What is it made of? Is it a heart on it's side? Is it a giant valentine candy?
Things like that.

Here is a bigger view of it. Its a statue of a little guy who has captured a heart and taking it for his own. I don't know what its made of. I wasn't close enough to tell. It was during Easter so it may have well been left over from Valentine's day.
