I saw a guy riding his Harley today...he had a set of crutches tied to the back.

Men Aren't Worth It
As I went to work with our new guy in Pensacola, I thought that I had forgotten to lock my car as we left his house. He said, "Don't worry this is a very safe neighborhood...everyone around here has lived here for a long time." As we returned later in the day, a sheriff's car was blocking the street (being a dead end street), and they wouldn't let us in. Even when he said "my kids are down there." We came back in about 30 minutes and they let us in. Seems that a guy was walking out on his girlfriend and she said she was going to kill herself. They had 5 cops and an ambulance down there. Well she shot off a couple of rounds in the air to let the cops know that it was loaded. Then she pointed the gun at her chest and pulled the trigger. Shame shame shame.
No one is really worth that...man or woman. They busted the same house 2 months ago as a meth lab. I think some homes are just cursed and should be demolished. Hope I cheered everyone up.

We Are not All the Same in the South
One of the reasons I wanted to do this blog so I could relate what i experience in my travels before I forget it. Driving thru Alabama, I was listening to a radio station from a small town called Jackson. I swear I can't make up this stuff, but they had one commercial where one guy says to his friends, "What gives, I pull up and see all these kick-ass cars in front." And one of the guys says "Dude, where have you been...so and so car company is having a sale." That is some classy ad copy if you ask me.
Then right after, this commercial talks about the true meaning of the Led Zep song Stairway to Heaven. They are actually playing the song in the background so you can hear the words, and saying that it has to do with this lady going into 'Classic Meats' to buy food for a party. Now I know why I always salivate when I hear that song.
I'm gonna start taking my camera in the car to show everyone what the scenery is really like. I decided that when I drove down this country road in the Florida panhandle and saw 2 real jet fighter planes sitting in this guy's front yard. You should have seen the runway.

Long Live Rock
Yesterday my 2 yr old granddaughter was having dinner with us and we had paused a movie we were watching to eat. The movie pausing timed out and music came on the tv and I swear on Jimi Hendrix's grave I am not making this up...she said " Rock and Roll." She already knows how to get to me.
