My lovely grad school friend Leslie Parker lives in Jonesboro with her husband, and I got to stay with them for a night and see a bit of the town, including the campus where Leslie teaches. We got dinner at an Irish pub (the only thing open past 9 pm on a Sunday), and while people-watching I marveled at two of the most majestic mullets I’ve ever seen. Seriously, they were breathtaking. Leslie and I took the dogs on a walk at Craighead Park the next day, where we saw a large family of geese, including some fuzzy goslings. We ate lunch at the dog-friendly outdoor extravaganza that is Porch Thirty, then I got a scrumptious blackberry latte from Urban Organics. Arkansas remains cooler than I had ever expected!
