Atlanta’s Number ONE!…

Date December 14, 2007

 
Atlanta has surpassed Los Angeles and Philadelphia to become - guess what?  The Bank Robbery Capitol of America!  Whoopee!  I am so proud to live in a city with the most bank robberies.  It sets such a standard other cities strive for.  It seems to be quite easy to do.  A grandfather can do it, […]

Poor Arthur Blank and His Falcons

Date December 12, 2007

After watching the Falcons play the Saints on Monday night, I figured Bobby Petrino would be fired. But no, Bobby acted like Nick Saban before leaving LSU - he lied to Atlanta! He lied to his team - and most of all, he lied to Arthur Blank. Who lies to Arthur Blank? […]

GA Gov is Prayin’ For Rain!

Date November 12, 2007

How many governors are gonna pray for rain? Ours is! Not that I won’t pray with him because we really need the rain. But the headline on 11Alive’s website is Perdue To Pray For Rain Tuesday. Why Tuesday? Why not every day or Friday? Or on the Sabbath? Oh, wait - we are supposed to […]

The Drought - Atlanta Could Become Orme, Tennessee!

Date November 8, 2007

So, the lack of water situation has already crippled the town of Orme, Tennessee.  These 145 residents only get 3 HOURS of water a day!   We are only a 150 miles to the southeast…Can you imagine the millions of city dwellers here putting up with that?  What would we all do besides storm the The State Capitol […]

Fox 5’s Dana Fowle Sticks It To Local Hotels

Date November 6, 2007

I like Dana Fowle a lot. She is quite fun in real life, is a darn good reporter, and she is looking really swanky lately… Anyway, Fox 5’s I-Team - which Dana is a part of- has done this undercover work on the hotels in our area and discovered how gross they are. Really gross. […]

UPS Commercials

Date November 2, 2007

Okay, I hate the newer UPS commercials. I can’t help it. I am sitting here watching Georgia Tech play Virgina Tech on a Thursday night (the Jackets are losing) and the UPS commercial comes on. How can people like the guy with a mullet drawing trucks and planes on the […]

Flex Car Mighty Cool

Date October 31, 2007

Sometimes Atlanta gets a bad rap for not being a “real” city. Compared to Gonzales, Louisiana, the ATL seems like a real city to me, but I feel further validation in that view now that we have Flexcar. Flexcar is a private form of “public” transportation that allows members to rent cars on […]

Pumpkin Carving

Date October 29, 2007

It’s Halloween time, and every year, the next door neighbor kids and I carve pumpkins. Usually, the girls do one and the boys do the other.  This year, the boys, Q-yes, Q-I don’t know his full name, and Keontez did a pumpkin that had a “mean” face and the girls, Sequoya and Keosha, did a […]

The Sights and Sounds of Hartsfield-Jackson Airport

Date October 22, 2007

Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is a fun place to travel in and out of IF you are not in a hurry and can spend time people watching.  On Thursday, Alison and I were casually walking to our gate heading to New Orleans to visit her family for a long weekend.  We both noticed a very skinny man near the wall […]

This Lack of Water Thing is Freaking Me Out

Date October 16, 2007

Lake Lanier….doesn’t this look so sad?
Is there anyone out there as worried about this water issue like me? I know I am a bit obsessive, but man, I am really obsessing about this. The fact that I can’t water my poor plants (forget my lawn) with the hose is saddening to me. […]
