These are posts that are a result of my mind catching on something and me going…hmmm. It might be an old phrase, cliche, or a life altering idea.

Walking Fingers

Local Phone Book

The oddest thing happened to me this week. Well odd for me. The Yankton/Vermillion phone book was delivered to my mailbox. In the past, I would have grabbed it and said, tongue firmly planted in cheek, “What the hell is…

Radio Rambo

Radio Rambo

I started driving truck way back in 1989. Shortly thereafter, I obtained my first CB radio. With that radio came an introduction into a whole new nomenclature. The “old hands,” threw out words and terms like they were a part…

Scared to Dream

1905 Wright Flyer

You know what I really want to do for a living, besides write novels (help a guy out, buy my book)? I would love to create and build. I am not talking about scarfs, kitchen cabinets, or colored lug nut…
