Memories of Past PBR’s
So I’m sitting on the front porch drinking a Sam Adams Summer Ale from a bottle in a PBR Koozie. It reminded me of my last trip to the Talladega Motor Speedway. I had arrived early with my camper and was in the staging area. I had several coolers in the back of the truck,…

Yep, That’s a Giant Beaver on the Sign
If you’re not from around these parts, you may not know that Buc-ee’s is a southern thing. Take the gift shop from a Crackle Barrel and add that to a big gas station convenience store, or BBQ Joint, and you have it. Auburn became home to the fourth Buc-ees in the state a few weeks…

My Time on The Enterprise-D
My last time on the Bridge of the USS Enterprise-D was in April 2005; however, 2371 might be more appropriate for the date. Me, 10 million miles from Earth. These memories came rushing back as I watched the final episode of Star Trek, Picard. We encountered Klingons that night, who were in search of me.…

Farewell Traffic Lights and Other Stuff
Downtown Opelika is losing two more intersections with traffic lights, to be replaced with four-way stop signs.

Still current, with no new parKs in the lineup! FLASHBACK: I wrote this post at the beginning of April (2017) but just got around…

To Stand or Not to Stand – That is the question!
Every few years, I move furniture around in my office to reenergize my productivity. But in doing so, I reversed a trend I began in 2014. I moved the stand-up desk away from my main work area this week. I found this post that talked about the beginnings of that adventure and am reposting it…

Talking at Table 4
I was thinking the other day (yea, I know thinking, right?) that there is a lot of knowledge, some useful and some not, when a couple of old men sit down and talk over beers. It could be something as simple as learning something new, and yes that still can happen at 72, or subjects…

Remember Your First Time?
Can you remember the first time? The first time you saw her, your first trip together, hanging out with friends at a racetrack? She’s been gone for several years now, but I thought I should find her for one last visit before moving on. And there she was, sitting on the edge of the woods. …

Got any book recommendations?
