Casinos in Alabama
Every time I drive up to my parent's lake house in Jasper, AL, I drive through the barrage of bingo halls on Highway 78. It makes me a little sick to see 5+ bingo halls in the space of a mile on an otherwise fairly deserted stretch of road. Jasper allows bingo for charitable causes as long as prizes rewarded were less than a certain dollar amount ( Read more... ) -
One Of Those Days
It's been one of those days. I've needed new tires for more than a month. At the end of December, I finally caved to the need, despite the lack of funds, to replace my tires. When the belts are showing on the drive wheels, you just have to do it or things get squirrely when it gets wet ( Read more... ) -
Birthday and New Sites
Today is the Macworld Keynote, which makes my productivity drop by nearly 90%. But that has little to do with anything.
I'll start with the easy news first. I recently signed up with Blue Host after Kathryn said that Ryan ♥s them. It turns out that I could be saving money by paying more per month but having the flexibility to host unlimited ( Read more... ) -
2009 New Years Celebrations
Last year, Erin and I went up to Gatlinburg with Alex and Siobhan. It was fun, but we felt like that was a bit much and opted for something seemingly easier this year.

It's been an odd week. Erin's grandfather died on Christmas day. Yesterday, we had the funeral in Jasper, AL. Erin and I stayed at my parent's lake house on Smith Lake, which is about half an hour from the funeral home ( Read more... ) -
An Idea for Electric Cars
A lot of auto manufacturers (and some that aren't) are working hard to make electric cars. For example: -
Alabama Drivers Used To Be Considerate
When I first started driving, things were a lot different than they are now. It used to be that, for the most part, people drove right and passed left, allowed people to merge, and merged without messing up the flow of traffic. Drivers in Alabama used to be considerate and mindful. When I moved back from LA, it seems like everyone in Alabama had ( Read more... ) -
Cold Weather in Alabama
The Northwest of the US is getting hammered by snow storms, and several of my friends are enjoying them immensely. Down in Alabama, however, it's more of the same snowless winter. I drove to work today with my car pointing out that it was -5° C 1, and it was pretty cold yesterday, too. The sky was as clear as I've seen it in awhile. It was clear ( Read more... )
