Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
I took the opportunity to watch a documentary last night. The Showtime Network was offering a free preview to try to entice us DirectTv users to subscribe to their service. I took them up on the offer by watching “Prophet’s Prey” for free. I went into viewing the movie as a mildly interested party. Well, …
Good morning, y’all. The weather changes are going to be coming fast and hard the next few weeks. We’ve gone from gorgeous seventy degree days to a heavy downpour. Looking at the forecast for the next week, I see ice is predicted. Oh, joy! Mother nature seems to be as fickle as an Iowa Republican. …
What a gorgeous day today and another scheduled for tomorrow. Looks like we’ve turned the corner on Winter, at least until we get our customary blizzard in late March. Just when you think it’s safe to start doing some gardening, Mother Nature will throw you a curve. She just wants to let you know who’s …
On the anniversary of the great SnowJam 2014, I’m going to take the opportunity to wax eloquently on the current state of non-public servants running for political office, and the ones who play them on TV. For those of you who don’t remember, on January 29, 2014, the collective officials of the state of Georgia …
The cold temperatures have increased the usage of the gym I attend by about ten fold. I’ve not seen many of these folks on my daily walks around my neighborhood, and I try to walk twice a day, rain or shine. Either they’ve been going to another gym to do their workouts, or they are …
Good morning, y’all. The snow has all but melted and we are in for a week of “milder” temperatures, it looks like. The Whiz O Meter really wants to predict freezing rain and sleet for the incoming precipitation, but it’s too warm. I guess even the weather people have taken on the Republican mantle of …
Good morning, y’all. Well Icepocalypse didn’t leave us completely unscathed as reported yesterday. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the ice and snow, it was the subfreezing temperature that was the culprit. We had a couple of tenants with frozen pipes this morning. No matter how many times you warn folks about leaving their faucets on at a …
Good morning, y’all. Icepocalyspe has arrived, and gone by. I hate to keep ragging on folks that seem really dedicated to trying to do a good job, like the folks controlling the Whiz-O-Meter at Channel 11 News, but they make it too easy. The rumors of our demise were greatly exaggerated. We got snow, we …
Good morning, y’all. With rumors of ice and snow flying about like moths to a street light, I’m making sure that TackyToo is as prepared as we can be for inclimate weather. Fortunately, I’m making sure my duties keep me inside. I bet I’ve filled the vending machines about four times today, while managing to …
I have taken Martin Luther King day off, like I suspect any good American should. It’s definitely a holiday from mail delivery, and the bank is closed. Walmart is open. As an act of civil disobedience, or contrariness, I searched Walmart’s directory online and found that the Walmart store in Atlanta, on Martin Luther King …
