Well, if you’re here then things are settling down after some domain mismanagement of mine a few days ago. Although, when Henry Stern comes up to comment that he’s not crazy about the new site, I know that folks stop by. I broke my settings the other day. Stupid thing I did. But, I took down several sites all at the same time, so I shared my misfortune with many. Several of you have commented… Read More
Notice, it’s still working. Here’s the bizarre story. There was a group of 5 guys in downtown today/morning and they were filming. They claim they were getting shots for a horror film. So strange.

Hanging out at Outback for the usual… Read More

I was talked into cleaning a friends garage today, but was paid with beer and wings at Outback, so it was okay. As normally happens with that combination (beer & wings, not the garage cleaning) we got to talking about things. Tonights thing was “International Talk Like A Pirate Day” , and we thought about planning the first annual celebration in Opelika. We didn’t know when it was, but hoped it was more than a… Read More
So this evening from the Outback Bar, the story of the guy (we think from MN) who leaned out of his golf cart (out at Grand National) to pick up a ball, only to fall out and get run over! Ouch.. Welcome to Opelika!!
