One of my favorite things in the world is a good, made from scratch pizza. As far as I am concerned the chains, the ones that deliver, just don’t get it. Hands down, the best has got to be Sicilian II on Pass Road in Biloxi and that’s not just for pizza, everything they serve is just great. The Sicilian Greek salad is amazing, as is the stuffed manicotti, the linguine, and calzone. You just can’t go wrong at Sicilian II, but the pizza is a must, it is life changing.
Environment
For many folks, owls are spooky and mysterious creatures. But the truth is that they are some of the most fascinating of the nocturnal creatures in our world. All owls are cool, but the coolest may be Great Horned Owls.
Many kinds of birds flock together in winter, for good reasons. Understanding why makes watching them fun and a chance to appreciate their roles in our world.
For many, wetlands are nice to look at but are otherwise mysterious places. Few people dare to tread through the water, mud, and muck that defines them. Staying on dry land is preferable, but without these wet elements of our landscape, our world would not benefit from the numerous functions and values that wetlands provide. Wetlands are a gift to most wildlife and certainly to humans, if only we paid attention.
Mississippians have long memories when it comes to weather. We remember hurricanes by name, floods by river height, and winter storms by the silence that follows when the power goes out and the world turns glassy and still. That’s why this week’s forecast has many North Mississippi families thinking back to February 1994.
