This particular “63” is not about my 63rd birthday (which is coming up soon), but Highway 63, one of my favorite roads of all time. Highway 63 starts in Waynesboro and goes south all the way to Pascagoula. Highway 63 passes by a plethora of churches, forests, farms, nice homes, small communities and pleasant scenery.

Me and 63 have a long history. In the 1970s, I was working for C. P. Clark Water Wells (my Daddy’s company) and we drilled a big community water well just north of Clara. It was rumored that someone fitting my description climbed the adjacent water tank to enjoy the view. That was crazy. After that, I traveled with a friend and his family to go eat at the famous Perry’s Catfish (now named Paw-Paw’s). Sadly, they had just closed for the evening, and we had to drive all the way back to Laurel to eat.
