coke freestyle

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

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

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.

What else is new?

biker

I went on a bike ride today to help my arthritic knee. It’s one of the best things.

I am now old enough to take Social Security. Still mulling over what to do about that.

closed golden corral restaurant

The old Golden Corral on Lawndale plus back parking lot.

As close as it is, I didn’t go that often, but when I did it was usually quite nice. Pleasant atmosphere.

Sometimes I rely on Golden Corral for the big salad bar when I’m traveling for work. Golden Corral often has amazingly good service.

desert destruction

The wonder of storytelling. Border stories. Hia C-ed O’odham. Arizona. Desert destruction.

roman music nerds

As strange as this sounds, they are kind of my type. Weird, nerdy. 🤓

This is a poster about a music festival that was all over Rome.
