Wet Jeep

There is only one negative to owning a Jeep Wrangler in Memphis, TN in the summer and that is scattered showers. If you live in Memphis, you know what I am taking about. It could be raining in your front yard but not in your back yard. Yesterday was great Jeep with the top down [...]

Ribbit.

No change in my pocket going jing-a-ling-a-ling.

Here is a concept I wish would take place everywhere. I hate having change in my pocket, especially when it wants to roll out of the pockets. Good thing I saw what is pictured below. Of course, I can only say that it is about time that something like this made it to the USA. [...]

Pope Benedict XVI arrives in Krakow, Poland

Looks like a missed another special event in Krakow, Poland. If I would have stayed an extra week I would have been able to see the Pope in Krakow Poland. It would have been something nice to say I have seen. It would have even been better if I was able to see him in [...]

Silk Sheets

I am one of those people that needs it to be cold to sleep really good. So cold that I do not even turn the heat on until the temperature hits below 60 degrees F/16 degrees C. I know that is very cold, but I believe that you can always put more clothes and blankets [...]

Protester in Krakow, Poland

While walking through the streets of Krakow, Poland I saw a group of student protesters walking around the Main Square on May 19th, 2006. I am not sure what they were protesting as I could not speak Polish. I did try to get in front of them to take a photo of their signs, but [...]

Mohawk

I am not sure if you saw a picture of this guy in a post from my last trip to Krakow, Poland in April. I saw him again, but this time I saw him without his hat and he had a nice little mohawk. He was located on the side entrance of the Cloth Hall [...]

If you requested a postcard or were on my list of postcards recipients I just wanted to let you know that I mailed them out at 7:20 Polish time today on May 16th. I sent over 25 postcards. I am guessing that they will take about a week to arrive.

Lost luggage

Lost luggage must cost airlines millions, as my bags were delivered to me via taxi and all lost baggage offices need to have at least one person working there whenever flights are arriving. Costing the airlines about $20-$50 and the average lost baggage officer must get paid at least $10-15 an hour probably making my [...]

McDonald Bucks

McDonalds is changing. Nope, they are not changing the food, but the interior of the restaurant. They plan on adding a Starbucks type atmosphere with comfy couches, Wi-Fi and a hip-hop look. You can read more about it at Business Week. I think this change would be perfect for Mickey D’s, now if they could [...]

Daughtry Gone!

I am not much of an American Idol fan, but I have been watching it on and off the past few weeks. I watched Tuesday nights performance and thought Chris Daughtry was better than the other contestants, especially better than Katharine McPhee. I think Katherine should have been booted since she clearly messed up on [...]

Let’s make the obesity problem worse.

I read this article at engadget.com where there is a company that allows you to turn your bicycle into a moped. Isn’t a bicycle supposed to be use to burn off fat instead of letting you gain it. The wheel actually holds 23 cc engine that can get you 20mph and your water bottle holds [...]

No place like home.

After reading an article, one that I cannot find again, that states that New York has a chance of a major tornado hitting them. New York is already trying to make sure people are prepared to ensure that what happened in the Big Easy doesn’t happen to them. This talk of a Twister hitting the [...]

Fuel Banks

I read this article on Autoblog.com which talks about a First Fuel Banks. In this article they mention that you can pre-purchase fuel for the future. So if gas is $2.79 and you think it will go up drastically, you can purchase fuel in advance at the $2.79 price and fill up later. Pretty cool [...]

Disco Fever

I have kept this one on the down low for about a month. While in Krakow, Poland during a break I busted out into a dance move. Yes, I was trying to do the Carlton Dance. You know the one I am talking about, from the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”.

Cartoon and the Cultural Divide

Can a cartoon help in the Cultural Divide between east and west? Politicians have not be able to do anything about it, so what not a cartoon. There is a new cartoon out there called “Ben and Izzy” mostly for children from the age of 8-11. Too bad it is not for anyone from the [...]

Extreme Hybrid

Now Tony Roy recently purchased a Honda Insight that will probably get him 60 miles per gallon. Tons better that my Jeep getting me 15-20 miles per gallon. My buddy Ryan Carmichael even mentioned the UK version of the Toyota Prius that can get about 90-100 miles per gallon. Both of those are great, but [...]
