Don't you live around Memphis? A trip to the Day's Inn might give you a first-hand opportunity to see the "beast" in action, meet Lisa and the gang, ask around for the latest rumors. I'd go, if I were there. I wish I had known about the Royal Arkansas debacle; I wouldn't have missed seeing it firsthand for anything. If you don't meet Ed at the Day's Inn, the next time you know where he is might be Cummins, and that place is no fun, except for the rodeo. But the Day's Inn probably isn't either, this evening. I wouldn't miss it.
Bring back some pics. You might even happen upon a crime scene.
