So, Will They Change it To "Drive Fast, Turn Right"?



NASCAR’s powerful engines haven’t been able to keep up with the Obama-era economy.
The study, from the pro-market think tank Public Notice and Race Fans 4 Freedom, finds that the economic downturn of the last several years has directly affected how NASCAR fans watch and enjoy their sport. Since 2009, race attendance per year has fallen below 4 million people, and the number has been declining severely as the unemployment rate has skyrocketed.

Stark Visual Lessons in Economic Theory

Absolutely fascinating photos from the former East Berlin juxtaposed with more contemporary photos.  Required curriculum for the OWS crowd.  The rest of us will just enjoy the neat pictures.  Really well done.

Deb Is Sad....

But for the right reasons?

I've had a long day writing pin-head term papers so I took this as a challenge.  Below are two pics...one shows Wal-marts in Deb's part of the world (each lettered pin OR pink dot...) and the other shows McDonalds in her part of the world...(You really have to click the pictures to see the dots!)
Wal-Marts

McDonalds

Seems like Deb is a LOT closer to a Big Mac than Wal-Mart...


This Kinda Makes Me Sad

There are 17 Walmarts that I can drive to in 30 minutes or less. Is that necessary?

Just A Great Photo

I think the world owes a debt to that master photo instructor Bob Seger for his simple instructions on terrific photos:  "What to leave in, What to leave out"

Here the advice is put to great use in a photo I know nothing about except it made me smile a very big smile when I saw it.

A Guard Shack - Like in London!

Frank wrote to tell me I misunderstood the master plan at his house.  Seems they've decided my room should be in FRONT of the house, a high honor!

Looks to me as if they wan't me to be their guard and to have my own guard shack!

Wonder when I get the tall, black, fuzzy hat?

Tim's Guard Shack - Clearly out of respect for my Army career...

Thanks For Building A Room For Me!!


Frank and Jan are so wonderful!  They are building a room for me to occupy when I come to visit Greenville!  Of course, since it is me, they are scrimping.  Instead of real walls, the sides will be made of screen material.  I'm sure that's so I can hear all the pretty birds singing!

I'll keep you up to date as Frank sends more pics of Timmy's room (or, as they insist on calling it, the screened porch - but I'm sure that mean's Timmy's room in Latin or something...)
