...Shannon and I are about to get on the road again. We're headed to Birmingham, where I'll be presenting a paper about Wal-Mart and obesity at UAB on Friday and talking about price-gouging at Birmingham-Southern on Monday. Speaking of which, the Commercial Appeal printed a few letters in response to my article on price gouging and gas prices. In between, we'll be visiting family. On Saturday night, Jacob and I are going to my Dad's house to watch the Bama-Georgia game.

On Friday night, I'll be live-blogging the Presidential debate for the Commercial Appeal from my in-laws' living room. Please feel free to join the discussion.

Next week: Wal-Mart at West Virginia. The following week: corruption and entrepreneurship at Auburn. Then Samford. Then the MVEA meetings in Saint Louis. Then Liberty Fund. Then UA-Little Rock and Central Arkansas. Then Ole Miss. Then...I don't know what. Thanksgiving?
