Fall officially arrived last week. You couldn’t tell it from the climate around here. Sure, the leaves are falling, but think it’s a case of drought-induced panic rather than seasonal instinct. Over the weekend the temps hit the mid-90’s, which has got to be a record for upstate South Carolina. So here we are at … Read More “Equinox, Schmequinox” »

This is going to be my final meat-n-three adventure for awhile. Or, at least, until my constitution recovers and I shed a few pounds. Today I didn’t feel like going alone, so I drafted my office mate, Rick, to go to Bill’s Place for lunch. It’s been nearly five years since either of us had … Read More “Meat-N-3.2” »

So I was very surprised when it turned out to be a reporter from the Greenville News. This was the same woman who plastered my picture on the front page several weeks ago. I thought this would once again be about the flooding in our neighborhood, but I was wrong.

Upon my return I was driving around and scanning the radio stations when I came upon this jewel… … Read More “New Wingnut Entertainment in Town” »
I was in Walmart (shudder) recently and glanced at their offerings in digital cameras. I was amazed at the variety cameras available for under $100 that can take 1.3 megapixel images. However, when I checked their online options, most of their sub-$100 cameras seem to be out of stock. That got me thinking, though, so … Read More “Digital Cams for the Masses” »
