I went to hang out with my brothers and an Italian restaurant broke out.

How many places can you go to Sunday School and have the coffee made by a PhD chemist/professor?
Come on and join us sometime. www.Expandingthelight.org

For those of us on the blue collar side of the house....surreal. KARK and KTHV have shared space atop the same tower since they were built. Joint occupancy for 70 years or so. In this shot I'm standing on KTHV with KARK below me.

20 years ago this week. No road signs standing, no GPS, and certainly no clue what we were in for. We made it out a month later free of gunshot injury. #towerdogs. #Katrina.

Mother's Day. 52 years is a long time. A fusillade, and when the smoke cleared she and Dad were both dead on the floor.

We still celebrate her every year, and wish so much that things could have been different.

Unexpected rapid disassembly. Yeah, I get it. In my trade we call this a high speed dismount.

People can say what they want about the @uspostalservice.bsky.social , but sometimes they come through strong.

I service my Monroe 10 key adding machine today and I got to admit I feel pretty accomplished.

I understand that technology has passed me by, but there's just something to be said for the old 10 key with a paper tape.

Does anyone else have a shrine to the grandparents?

Lots of noise about micro plastic accumulation in the body these days. If you are local, Spring water in 5 gallon glass is only $15.00 with exchange. I buy mine 30 gal at a time. If you don't want to drive to HS, there is a spring in the 3800 block of MLK in Little Rock where you can fill.

I know how to start my Sundays off correctly!

I am a towerdog. I'm not a particularly good towerdog, nor am I a very smart towerdog, but, that being said, the trade has been good to me and I hope I have been good to the trade.

Truly, nothing more satisfying than driving all over the South, looking up, and saying "I've been on top there".

Sunday mornings in our town still come with a newspaper on the porch and hot coffee. I always look for my favorites, like @gwenfordfaulk.bsky.social , who writes so beautifully. Today was no exception.

If you are on the business end of a payroll checkbook you can make a difference for a kid aging out of the foster care system.

As we age, we become our fathers, it seems.

Long live the pocket protector.

All around town there are little mini-food pantries. My wife considers those her mission field. :)

My men and I, on the way to Hodge, Louisiana this week, stopped at every convenience store we could to sample the gizzards.

We could find no gizzard that compared with those at the Forest Tower Shell station, North of Sheridan, Arkansas. Flummoxed we were as to why theirs were so perfect.

Sometimes I worry about the future of the United Methodist Church, then, something like this comes along and snaps me out of it. #UMC.
