Morning Walk

Sun is out.  Sky is blue.  Temperature is about 60 degrees.  It a great morning to walk in around the park.

Oh, and the geese are out.  Avoid the dropping and the babies.

In five days, my 2500+ mile trip into Dixie and my visit to the land of the Cajuns is schedule to begin.  So, you can expect more photographs and less drawings over the next 6 weeks.

This list may change, since I am still listening and driving.  Currently, I listing to Scott Meyer’s book “Off To Be a Wizard”.   If the author keeps up the good work, it will make the list.

Ray Porter has become my favorite narrator, thanks to Bobiverse.  Searching for books narrated by Ray Porter is how I found Peter Clines’ books.

Things You Find on the Side of the Road

This summer I traveled through most, if not all, of the States in the center of the country.  During these travels I found some interesting places.  First there was the Beef Jerky Outlet, my travel companion was in heaven.   Second interesting stop was Pickle Gap, AK.  If you need a Belly Button Lint Brush, they have it.

The third stop was a fruit stand on the side of US 49, somewhere in Mississippi.

Alas, I could not purchase anything because my car was full of stuff.

While is Mississippi, I did stop by the beach.  It was cloudy, dreary day.  I did find sand and a few grains are probably in the car.

Branson, Missouri

I spent less than 24 hours in Branson, Missouri.  It was a stop as I headed south.  Even though, I did not see any shows I did see some interesting items.

The first stop was the wax museum. Why is Jeannie so interesting? I just spent the last nine months with the TV tuned to I Dream of Jeannie to keep the morning news from ruining the day.

I did find some interesting items at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not.
