November 7, 2011 The worlds largest hair ball

The worlds largest human hair ball used to be in Charleston, MO but Ripley's believe it or not purchased it from Henry Coffer for $5000. He collected it from his barbershop.

Here is a picture of it and his certificates from the Guinness world records and Ripley's.

John with some southern cooking, including hog jowls. New Madrid, Missouri. It is the spot of the worlds worst earthquake, 8 on the Richter scale in Dec 16, 1811

modern cotton modules, the cotton harvester packs the cotton from the field into these huge modules and it gets sent to  be cleaned and then put in the smaller 500 lb. bales, and a cotton field from the speeding bus, heaven forbid John would have to stop-he says it is a road trip after all

Welcome to Arkansas-the natural state  and ugly tomatoes and razor backs
