On my way to the Great Northwest, I ran across this at one of the newsstands in the Salt Lake City airport…… Tommy Chong has written a book of his life and times, including how he was targeted by our lovely government that resulted in him serving time…… The name of the book is “I [...]
Yes, I’m heading for the Great NorthWest this Wednesday for an inspection tour of Jektown, Anon point, and various other locations just to keep our community on its toes…… I expect to be treated as Royalty!….. Just Kidding…… If it wasn’t for Jek, we wouldn’t have this great place to converse, bitch, gripe, and just [...]
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone……. To borrow a phrase from Hendrix, It is still raining, but, there’s a strong Oklahoma wind mixed in with it……. I’m actually getting what I came for – rain and clouds…… Nice change from Oklahoma’s Sun, Sun, Sun….. Again, Happy T-Day…… Enjoy!……..
…….This doesn’t include pre-bash activities which included proper attire shopping, dining at Bourbon Street Cafe, and hitting the highlights of OKC (about 5 minutes on that one)…… Nor does the 3N-2D include all the journey’s home in four directions out of Austin on Monday….. The first night was the party mentioned by J.J. put on [...]
Since the last “Educational Quiz” was geographically based, I saw a story on the news about this couple that visited every city, town, ville, ghost town, and hole-in-the-wall in the state of Oklahoma….. It took them six years and over 32,000 miles to do it….. Why?….. I don’t know…. They were retired, but, have since [...]
I have a question……. On the national news yesterday, they ran a story on the airline’s recovery from 911….. The three major airlines were showing profits from 150 million to 350 million this year, which is more than double their profits for the same period last year…… They accomplished this by cutting flights resulting in [...]
Well, actually, I’m a good “Truck Drivin’ Passenger”, although I did get to sit in the driver’s seat for a photo…. J.J. came through on his offer to let me ride along on a short run to Dallas and back…. You definitely get a different perspective on driving when you’re sitting way up above the [...]
I don’t know how often you fly, but it seems that the flying experience is getting worse. In particular I recently flew on Continental Airlines from BHM to OKC. My itinerary put me through Houston. The story begins in the morning. My flight was scheduled to leave at 11 AM and of course, I got [...]
Over the years, my job took me to many different cities around the U.S…. I found five locations which are much more desirable than my current location of the Oklahoma City area…. New Orleans was on the top, but I dropped it due to the recent damage…. I don’t think they’ll have it up-to-snuff anytime [...]
Randalf asked in a previous post how skiing differed in the German Alps. Well the main difference I found was with the view. (That first picture is from the top of Jenner in Berchtesgaden.) The alps are absolutely beautiful and quite more jagged than the Cascades that I’m used to. It hadn’t snowed in a [...]
