A Picture A Day – Day 16

March 19, 2011 By Robert Owen

It's still a gig day... So that means this picture is tremendous!  A Picture worthy of any Art Gallery in any small farm town with a population of at least 20 people.  hahaha !!  :lol: This shot gives you a clear idea of how I spent my lunch break on this gig day! Waffle House!!! (click it to see a larger version). I am sad to say though, that the Waffle House I visited did abuse it's bacon which offends me greatly.  They cooked this stuff in Mass, plated it and then proceeded to stack … [Read more...]

Warranty Schmarranty

January 7, 2010 By Robert Owen

Here's an interesting read about Apple's wonderful customer service. Note my sarcasm?  :-) Anyway, here's a short clip of the article. The Apple Retail Store Hates You  - I recently visited the Apple store to exchange a defective power adapter which was still under warranty.  I still have the defective adapter, as it has now cost more time and effort than it was originally worth. What I have lost is time, money, and trust in the ethics of the retail store.  What I have gained is … [Read more...]

Save the Arts!

May 18, 2009 By Robert Owen

This is one of the most troubling things I've run across in a long time. TAZEWELL, Tenn. — Because of the recession, cutbacks in public schools across the country have compromised a lot of what many students have taken for granted, like after-school activities and programs. Fortunately, in Claiborne, Bell, and Lee Counties, schools have not made many critical cutbacks in planning their next budgets; that is, until now. At the last Claiborne County Board of Education meeting, the school board … [Read more...]

Spring has Sprung, ugh.

April 2, 2009 By Robert Owen

SPRING HAS SPRUNG! Well, I'm much more interested in Winter than Spring... I see the sun all the time, winter brings the opportunity (how ever small) that I will get to see snow too. Don't get me wrong, I like the sunny warm weather of the Spring and Summer months. It's just that in Tennessee we get Sunny warm weather all year long. Even in the winter. ( Damn Global Warming! ) Winter here just means we now have the added possibility of cold and snow, and I really dig that possibility. This … [Read more...]

Gas…Its getting K-RAZY

September 12, 2008 By Robert Owen

It appears that Fountain City (aka, God's Country) is getting hit by some gas craziness! The prices down Broadway are going through the roof! Here is an update of the gas prices on Broadway as of 1:45pm on September 12, 2008. 3.89 - Citgo. 4.00 - Gas stop. 4.49 - Pilot. 3.69 - Phillips 66 - There was Quite a nice line here! 3.89 - Exxon. Hopefully all these crazy prices will calm down in a few days but, until then I'll be keeping my trips down to the bear necessities. No more … [Read more...]

Calm Down!!

June 14, 2008 By Robert Owen

This is just a little rant. You probably don't want to hear/read this but hey, this is my site so here goes. This past Christmas my lovely wife, knowing the geek I am, got me this great t-shirt. If you are a geek like me you can determine the subject of this shirt quite easily. Now, if you can't tell... I'll fill you in. This shirt's subject is the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. ( a most hilarious movie BTW) So... How/why is this a rant? Well. I wore this T-shirt this … [Read more...]
