One of things I love about traveling around America, is the different feel each city or town has. I remember as a kid the first thing that came to me were the smells of each place we'd pass. Some smells were great like when we drove up to a local mom and pop BBQ joint … Continue reading Keep Austin Weird-Part 1

I remember years ago you couldn't get a Krispy Kreme donut anywhere but in the south. This was probably a good thing, as these donuts have a curious addictive quality. Maybe it's their light fluffy essence or the rich gooey glaze that makes them irresistible to so many people. The fact that if you live … Continue reading Krispy Kreme, Donuts To The Extreme.
Hello from the road! I love driving across America and finding new places to explore. Today my cousin took me on a long ride out into the countryside to find an ice cream shop I had heard about. We took off on our little adventure and crossed rivers and railroad tracks. We passed old barns … Continue reading Cruze-ing for Ice Cream

I had a choice of three different ways to get to my next destination and decided to take the route that would place me directly in the Four Corners area. I remember going there as a kid and it was a lot of fun … Continue reading If It’s Good Enough For Charlie Daniels
Do you see the rabbit? As the saying goes,"All good things must come to an end" so my time in Tucson is ending. Before I depart on an eastward trajectory, hopscotching from states that aren't on New York's list of "banned" states, I'd like to dispel a couple rumors I've heard while in Tucson. One … Continue reading Adios Old Pueblo.
Today I needed a change of scenery and since Mount Lemon was closed due to a fire I pointed my car in the opposite direction and headed south and a little east of Tucson to an area that is about 2000 feet higher in elevation than Tucson and a world away.
