God knows. Protect me from harm. Deliver me from evil.

My sixth grade teacher would have bristled at such a warning as this one.

trying to unsubscribe

When you decide the e-mails aren’t worth the trouble and try to unsubscribe. Intentional?


Another one, 6dolllarshirts (printed t’s), it took years to stop those, and they still crop back up. I just block the sender.

coke freestyle

Posted on May 3, 2021 | 3 comments

I’ve got to stop going to places that have those stupid stupid touch-screen Coke machines (called Freestyle) and don’t put an extra ice machine beside it.

The line will back up all the way across the restaurant, and all I want to do is ice a cup to pour some tea in it.

Places ought to be serving Pepsi anyway.

ole time internet

Posted on May 3, 2021 | 4 comments

Back when we first got dial-up internet at home, 1996, between me and Brian we would have that telephone line busy almost 24 hours a day.

My mother told me one time she’d been trying to call me for 6 weeks, and it was busy the whole time.

My solution was to call Bell and have voicemail added to the line so she could leave a message. lol

Retro photo hunt.

A color portrait of me. Also two photo strips of me taken in Woolworth store photo booth, Elm Street, Greensboro, NC, North Carolina.

My brother, Fred Routh Jr., can be seen in the top image of one of the strips.
