Day 6: This was to be a long day on the road. I had read in at least two places that state highway 22 is an excellent scenic route along the shore of Lake Michigan. So, I had plotted a route to the “starting” point … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Days 6 through 8)
HEY! It’s been over six months since my last hodgepodge post. Well, since the last one I actually labelled as a hodgepodge post. And, in digging through my old digital photos this morning, I ran into a pocket of hodgepodgeable folders. Three of them, to … Continue reading Revenge of the Hodgepodge
I’ll be keeping today’s episode of ThrowBack Thursday short, partly because I am recuperating from elective eyeball surgery, and partly because I still have a lot to iron out in regard to my next trip (which is only 11 days away). It was September 2007. … Continue reading California (September 2007)
Hey! It’s Thursday! Time for another ThrowBack. We begin our voyage with Cedric’s employment status. At the beginning of April 2011, I was starting a new job with a government contractor. I would be working at the Denver Federal Center, but I had to spend … Continue reading Chesapeake Bay (April 2011)
Have you ever thought to yourself (or to anyone else) that you’d like to be able to go on a scenic mountain hike without having to spend a bunch of time in the car to get there and back? If you said / thought Yes, … Continue reading Royal Arch and Flagstaff Mountain (March 2011)
It was a different time. A more innocent time. A smellier time. What the Hell am I talking about? I don’t know. But it was definitely late July of 2010. I was road-trippin’ from Idaho to Colorado and had but one day on the itinerary … Continue reading Tetons and Yellowstone (July 2010)
Here’s something the vast majority of you will have absolutely no interest in: During July 2010, I went to a family reunion. Now, don’t worry, I’m not going to bore you with stories/pictures of my family. I only mention it because four of us did … Continue reading Idaho (July 2010)
Do you have a room in your house that you never go into? And/or one where you haven’t opened the curtains / blinds in quite some time. I have the latter type. It’s the dog’s room. I keep the curtains closed in there in hopes that he’ll see fewer people / things outside to bark about. Well, I went into this room the other morning, opened the curtain, and was faced with this:
Yup. A vine that is trying to completely cover a bush just outside the window has actually found its way INTO THE HOUSE. It managed to squeeze in through a tiny gap where the two window frames come together (when the window is closed). What are the odds? Seriously, what are they? Now that I know the outcome, I might use the Way-the-Hell-Back Machine to go to Vegas and place a bet on it. Come to think of it, why am I not already using my Way-the-Hell-Back Machine for sports betting? I need to get my priorities straight.
At the end of my previous ThrowBack Thursday (TBT) post, I said that the destination for my next TBT will likely be Eldorado Canyon State Park near Boulder, Colorado. Due to a lack of unforeseen circumstances, I was right. So, let’s head back to July … Continue reading Eldorado Canyon State Park (July 2009)
Today we fire up the Way-the-Hell-Back Machine so’s it can take us back to July 2009. And yes, I do mean “fire up”. That’s right…the Way-the-Hell-Back Machine runs on coal. The idea of a coal-fired time machine may seem odd at first, but it makes … Continue reading Roxborough State Park (July 2009)
