I made my way to Huntsville, Mom at my side. I had to run by the Court House to get a copy of the deed to my house.If I died and my deed was not readily available, things would get difficult for my executor. And…, I couldn’t find my deed. So, off to the Court…

Tommy The Dawg

By pwsadmin / March 29, 2023 / Comments Off

“Tommy the Dawg” is so dang smart. I’ve driven all over this mountain with him at my side, and in the beginning, I would say the words, “Hold On” when going into a curve or making a turn, and he learned to “hold on.” He did this by taking his head out of the window,…

Lost In The Opryland Hotel

By pwsadmin / March 28, 2023 / Comments Off

“It’s an Atrium. It’s just a Man-Made-Atrium, ‘Lynn,’” I told myself. “This isn’t ‘Gilligan’s Island.’” I had gone to an “After-Show” Party and returned to the “Opryland Hotel” after 1 AM. The hotel has over 2800 rooms.It’s the size of several football fields. I had taken an “Uber” to get back to the hotel, and…

The Trip

4 AM, “Alexa” awakens me with soft Jazz music. “It’s time!” I say aloud. “Time! Get up and get ready, ‘Lynny-Pooh!’” You see, I have an important trip planned today.I am going to the great city of Nashville, in the great state of Tennessee.By 7 PM tonight, I will be sitting in front of one…

The Pink Floyd Experience

Over one-thousand and, two hundred words are typed here.I felt they were needed, though.And honestly, I think the first part is a bit “Dry.”Any-hoo, here we go: My oldest Brother knows I love Pink Floyd. I always have.In ’94, I was fortunate enough to see them live for their “Division Bell” tour.I took my late…

160

By pwsadmin / March 1, 2023 / Comments Off

Highway 160 is the main highway in this area. I believe it’s also one of the most dangerous roads in Alabama. There have been some horrible wrecks on 160.On average, I’d guess a wreck every ten days or so occurs on 160.The thing is, it’s pretty straight.So, since it’s straight, people go 70 on it,…

His name is John.His cardboard sign reads, “Birmingham.”John stands about 5’11 and weighs 160, soaking wet.His footwear is Carhartt Workboots. People swear that Carhartt Workboots are the best. This shows that he is very conscientious about his feet.He wears an Army Green long sleeve button-up shirt.His pants match the shirt.His face is weather-beaten.His hair is…

A Ride with Tommy

By pwsadmin / February 4, 2023 / Comments Off

I walked outside to see if it was a good day to take “Tommy” the Dawg out for a drive. It’s been rainy the past month, and I don’t like going for drives in the rain.So, Tommy hasn’t gone for a ride with me in a while now. Outside, it was sunny with clear blue…

John Steinbeck

By pwsadmin / February 3, 2023 / Comments Off

I finished “The Grapes of Wrath.”It’s gonna take a good 24 to 48 hours for me to recover from reading…that. This family, in fact, all of the families, were living in “H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick” already, and I didn’t think life could get any worse.It did. As I said in another post, the story occurred during the “Dust…

I had to drive to Gardendale today to have something sent back to Amazon using the UPS Store.The store is next to a fine Chinese Restaurant, and I decided to dine there for lunch. I’ve been coming to this restaurant since I was a child.It wasn’t always a Buffet.You can tell when you look around…
