Take a video tour of the Forks of Cypress Plantation located in Florence, Alabama.

The Forks of Cypress was a cotton plantation and Greek Revival plantation house near Florence in Lauderdale County, Alabama. It was designed by architect William Nichols for James Jackson and his wife, Sally Moore Jackson. Construction was completed in 1830. It was the only Greek Revival house in Alabama to feature a two-story colonnade around the entire house, composed of twenty-four Ionic columns. The name was derived from the fact that Big Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek border the plantation and converge near the site of the main house. Although the main house was destroyed by fire in 1966, the site was placed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on April 14, 1992 and the National Register of Historic Places on October 10, 1997

Lyrics for Bonnie and Clyde, by Merle Haggard

Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe
Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away
They both robbed and killed until both of them died
So goes the Legend of Bonnie and Clyde.

The poems that she wrote of the life that they led
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead
Some say that Clyde made her life a shame
But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game.

The rampage grew wilder with each passing day
The odds growing smaller with each get-a-way
With the end growing closer the harder they fought
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught.

They drove back from town on one bright summer day
When a man they befriended stepped out in the way
With no thought of dyin’ they pulled to the side
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde.

Two years or runnin’ was ended that day
For robbin’ and killin’ they both had to pay
But we’ll always remember how they lived and died
So goes the Legend of Bonnie and Clyde.

This was a few years ago. But the residents of a suburb of Mobile claim to have seen a real Leprechaun in the trees.

Missouri State Highway Patrol is makes videos about making meth. In this episode, Sgt. Jim Wing reveals his special recipe for the “Nazi synthesis method.”  And before some people complain that knowing this will encourage it I would like to say that known about it will discourage it. Now if your kid suddenly has a bunch of cold medicine and lithium batteries lying around you will know why.
