Overnighting in sikeston. Coach ran great. Ate supper at Lambert's...waaaay too much food. See y'all tomorrow afternoon Lord willing and the creek don't rise...
BTW that phrase has nothing to do with rising water. It has to do with the Creek Indian uprisings.

Kerry, are you sure about that? I thought Lady and Lyndon Johnson made that famous because you couldn't get to their TX ranch house if the river was up.

It seems to me that it's just another way of saying, "come hell or high water", a saying which has probably been around since hell and water were invented. Then there's this:

Regardless of where it came from it's a great turn of words.

I'll buy Kerry's analysis... the saying far predates Light Bulb's fame. My Granddaddy used it when I was a young sprat.
LBJ's best comment was when as a Congressman an aide asked him if another official would do what he (LBJ) needed done to pass some legislation. "I've got his pecker in my pocket. He'll do whatever I tell him." was the reported response. If you look back at LBJ's power as a Congressman, he was probably correct.

Passed a peaceful night at the Town and Country RV park($25). The owner asked if we were going to Lamberts and when I said yes, he gave me a brochure and said to call that number and they'd pick us up and bring us back and we wouldn't have to unhook the toad. They did and it was really handy.
Ken Burton had mentioned a place called Worthington AG that he referred to as the "Duracool store". Turns out it is literally next door. What are the odds of that?
Going to stop by on the way out. I could walk but don't know how much I'll get and don't want to tote a case back over the gravel driveway. As soon as Carolyn gets her face out of the jar, we'll be on the road.

You must have been really tired last night
Not only don't you know what campground you are in but I suspect you don't know what State you are in.
Springfield, ILLINOIS is where the Lincoln museum and other Lincoln things are.
