Robert St. John talks Carnival. He says king cakes are subjective. Everyone has an opinion. He has several strong ones.
Most people who aren’t from around here don’t realize how much Mardi Gras matters in my hometown of Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Dear Editor,
I’m responding to a recent post made on Facebook by State Representative Karl Olver over remarks made by Congressman Bennie Thompson in a Homeland Security Committee hearing.
For the purpose of recognizing the representative as a constituent of Mr. Thompson, I will refer to the representative as Karl. I appreciate Karl making the post on Facebook.
Firstly, it reveals a lot about who he is as an individual that has bought in to how many of his colleagues try to “excite” their supporters.

Among all the Ole Miss football players, coaches and fans reveling in the postseason success of the Rebels, one of the happiest has to be Keith Carter, the school’s athletic director.
The victories over Tulane in the first round and Georgia in the Sugar Bowl have vindicated Carter and his then risky decision to cut ties immediately with Lane Kiffin after Kiffin had decided to take the coaching job at Louisiana State University.

As I got out of bed this morning my husband gave me my “New Year’s midnight kiss,” a little late but hey I can’t stay up till midnight anymore!
Usually, the noise from the sound like shotgun shells being cannon-balled through the quiet of the night wakes me up around midnight but last night all was quiet out here on the Circle S. I don’t know if it’s the excitement that has faded, or if it’s the price of fireworks and the thought of blowing up so much money into the skies that has had a respite in the thunderous activity.

What’s your favorite food?
Raised in the South - there’s plenty to choose from!
When I was little, I remember loving fried chicken legs! Add to that red jello.
For some reason also really liked the Captain Crackers dipped in Thousand Island dressing. My other food group was French fries.
I remember mama telling me that when she and daddy and I were going out for dinner to celebrate their anniversary I got a little loud.
The waitress led us to our table set away from most of the other busy areas saying, “I thought you would like a little privacy.”

What is going on in college football? Where are the blue bloods of the college game like the familiar names of Alabama, Clemson, Georgia or Ohio State. I thought the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) was going to have the elite programs dominate college football even more. It ain’t so as we have four new teams in Indiana, Miami, Ole Miss and Oregon still playing. Those are our final four teams in the College Football Playoff (CFP) semifinals.
Ole Miss will play Miami in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday night followed on Friday by Indiana battling Oregon in the Peach Bowl.

Knockout roses are an excellent choice for Mississippi flower gardens. These resilient beauties have built a reputation for delivering stunning blooms nearly year-round. They thrive in the state's challenging climate, whether it's intensely hot, extremely humid or frigidly cold in late winter or early spring. These extremes rarely affect their beauty. The roses show more resilience to diseases that affect common rose varieties. When they bloom, they produce an array of clustered petals in vibrant colors.
