Saturday morning dawned early, bright and clear, except for the doomed travelers. Seems staying out on Bourbon Street and environs until 4 AM isn’t conducive to being alert and smiling at 7 AM. The same day, I mean. Still, the revelers got a nice nap (unless they also had to pack their gear, which […]

Since we were extremely lucky clever in our choice of which Mother’s to eat at while traveling this past week, I decided to look up some more rules for surviving the dining experiences of a long road trip. Who knows, maybe you can violate some of these without serious injury on your next outing…

I was making the fairly lengthy trek home from the Frozen North vicinity of the Oklahoma border, north of Fort Worth, when I decided I needed to tank up. How did I discover this? Well, there were these deep, bass grumbles that were getting so loud it was interfering with the music. Oh, the […]

Some of you may have wondered where the fine elves who run the Chile Underground may have gotten off to. A few of you (Hi, Mom!) might even be worried. (As for the bill collectors, well; a little angst in their life is good, as far as I’m concerned.) No, we haven’t disappeared. Not […]

With the Atlantic hurricane season well under way, most of us will begin to check regularly for any activity along the East Coast or in the Gulf of Mexico. Next month we’ll begin to look further east, out near Africa, for any suspicious blobs on the satellite pics. And don’t let the slow start […]
