For Today . . .

. . . a bit of appropriate music – though none of what follows would be considered traditional. The first is an IMO excellent cover of a rather famous popular tune from some decades ago. The second and third are far more recent, and were written by the performing artists. Enjoy. While Christmas was indeed […]

From the Musical Attic

Been on the road again – twice (the second trip is not quite halfway done). And as longtime readers know, I listen to a lot of music while driving. So yeah: that means you’re about to be subjected to some off-topic musical musings – a auditory walkabout, if you like. Consider yourself forewarned. (smile) . […]

An (Olfactory) “Blast” from the Past

From 1972, to be precise. “Enjoy” – so to speak. (smile) Since it’s now late Fall, thankfully this is less appropriate while traveling than it was a few months ago. Even if it does feature “Technicolor, man!” (smile)

More from the Road

Barring something truly unusual or unfortunate, I should finish up another 5,000+ mile road trip later today. If you’re so inclined, wish me luck. On the road, there’s not much to do besides the boring and the necessary: e.g. keeping it between the lines and avoiding idiots. (As an aside: I swear, the old saying […]

Weekend Open Thread:  Yer Friday Funnies

Here are some quotations that should leave you smiling, if not laughing. Unless of course you’ve had your sense of humor surgically removed. (smile) . . . “Bigamy is having one husband too many. Monogamy is the same.” — Anonymous “Winston, if you were my husband I’d put poison in your coffee.” “If you were […]

Weekend Open Thread – Travel Oddities

In extreme southern Georgia – on US Highway 84, designated the “Georgia Wiregrass Parkway” for much of its length – there is a small town named “Climax”. It’s about 8 miles east of Bainbridge. On the west side of the town, when traveling westbound a smallish (3’ x 3’ or thereabouts) sign or billboard can […]

Weekend Open Thread – Remembering Thunderfingers

I once worked with a guy who’d played part-time in a band. His contention – and I’ve heard the same from multiple other sources – was that a rock-n-roll band’s rhythm section (bass/drums) were the true heart and soul of the band. If they were solid, the band would rock; if not, not so much. […]
