Did you know... there is such a thing as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas? Commonly referred to as ERCOT, this is apparently the governing body in Texas over preparedness and energy needs within the state. I think we can safely say that this 'governing body' fumbled this current deep freeze emergency rather badly as we still have millions of Texans with no power for over 24 hours and no r
If it's been a while since you've stepped off into a good cave, or even if it hasn't, I would like to introduce you to Cosmic Cavern in Berryville, Arkansas. A good introduction to spelunking with more adventurous options available.
When planning our trip I asked my wife to find us a place to stay at the halfway point between Branson and Texarkana so we could have one more night on the road and break up the drive a little.

Obviously, if you have lost your job during the Pandemic then you have immediate and targeted plans for your stimulus check, I fully understand.

The donut of my childhood dreams has finally come to Texarkana. Over a year in the making, Shipley Do-nuts is now open on Arkansas, Blvd. Be still my beating heart.
It's been over a year since ground broke on the donuts of my dreams, Shipley Do-nuts, and it looks like we're getting close. Look there, in the window, it's a "Now Hiring" sign! I grew up in Houston where Shipley began, and I love 'em! I can only hope they live up to my memories.
We haven't really been hit by much "winter weather" yet but make no mistake, it's coming, and with that, there's always a chance of losing a nip. Not funny! Let's be mindful out there as those temps begin to drop with this reminder of the story I did last January of some very unwanted consequences. It's the most horrifying story of the year in my humble opinion.
How many iterations of Santa can be done? Apparently, Hollywood isn't quite finished yet because Kurt Russell does a bang-up job of playing the big guy in this Netflix exclusive.
Comic book legend and Superhero creator Stan Lee passed away today, November 12, 2018, a sad day in the comic book and superhero movie world for sure. Several years ago my wife and I were at a Comic Convention in Dallas or San Antonio or somewhere... and I dang near accidentally took him out myself. Let me tell you about the day I almost ran over Stan Lee.
