Every so often I complain about the coolness of the South this winter and why it isn’t warmer. Sometimes I even bitch about the rain. And just yesterday a friend that I made when we worked up in North Dakota this past summer sent me this short video. I don’t think I’ll complain about being [...]
First things first. I’ve received many an email asking about the condition of Brutus. I mentioned he had a vet visit and never posted the outcome. Brutus if fine. He was put on some steroids and has rebounded admirably. All the itching is gone and he’s back in full swing. This was the third vet [...]
We’ve finally downsized all that we can in the past week. The reasoning behind this was two-fold. I traded both the Jeep Wrangler and our trailer and purchased a new crew cab truck. The deal was finalized last week but there were still bugs that needed to be worked out. Robin will again follow me [...]
[ad] For the past several days we’ve been anchored here in Cabin Creek Campground in Jacksonville, NC. We’re spending time with the owners, learning all the daily machinations of the operation, interviewing them, they interviewing us for a possible fit as general managers. Jacksonville is the home of Camp Lejune, the marine base that is [...]
Sunday morning we worked at the golf course. The afternoon was so slow there was no need for our services so we were permitted to leave. This is unusual to me. A golf course back home in Pennsylvania, any course, would be packed to the gills on a Sunday afternoon. And the Bully Pulpit is [...]

Surely, we would have no problem with that. In fact, our work for Memorial Day was cancelled as well as heavy winds, rain, [...]
For you readers out there that are not golfers, this slideshow will not top your Oscar list but the process here is fascinating. After watching this you will be a learned and extremely knowledgable individual. You will be esteemed in your social circles and your conversations will be held in awe by the masses. [...]
Arising later than usual on this final of two free days. Train whistle through the night made for intermittent sleep. As the sun peeked thru the shades and into my lids, I forgot that I must have altered the location of a disc yesterday during golfing. It really caught me off guard when my feet [...]
Carthage, Missouri hails itself as the place of the first battle of the Civil War. I was misled by former historians in thinking that it was Fort Sumter. But small towns all over America often lay claim to some historical phenomenon, albeit totally misleading, it lends to the drama and interest of such a place. [...]
I missed a post for two days due to the aftermath of the tornado. My dream has been to photograph one and escape unscathed. But the tornado came at the midnight hour and the darkness prevailed. In the neighboring town of Mena, three people died. We were fortunately on the top of the mountain [...]
