Finally, Something Drone-Worthy . . .
I finished booking all the hotels along our route on our upcoming Alabama vacation.
We’ll leave here the 26th of May, spend the night in Slidell, and arrive in Athens, AL on the 27th, where we’ll be for the next 5 days, catching up with relatives and friends.
Then it’s on down to Birmingham where we’ll stay for one night, again seeing long-time friends. And the next two nights after that, we’ll be in Montgomery seeing a couple of more old friends, before ending up down at Gulf Shores on the 4th for the next week.
We’ve got a 7 bedroom condo right on the Gulf, room enough for the 22 people that make up the Texas branch and the Illinois branch of Jan and her sister Debbie’s families.
We’ll be there for a week, with Jan and I finally getting home on Sunday, June 12th.
Really looking forward to it.
One thing about visiting Brandi is that the dogs, Jack and Baxter, are always happy to see us, and bring us toys to play with.
“Did someone say Treat?”
What’s unusual about this photo is that Baxter still has his kerchief on. For some reason Jack doesn’t like Baxter to wear anything around his neck and does his best to pull it off.
And this is Landon and Jack checking in on his Zoom school class back in the day.
Linda Sand, a long-time blog reader, said that a few years ago when they were passing through Marathon the Buc-ee’s/Target mini-store there was a Prada store back then.
So what’s next? A Chick-Fil-A?
It looks like that’s what happened up in Wharton, TX. Somebody got the whole town riled up by posting a Chick-Fil-A Coming Soon sign.
Wharton police said they are looking for the “heartless individual” who placed a sign promising a Chick-Fil-A coming soon at a major intersection. The issue with it is, it was done as a prank and there are no plans for the restaurant there.
“A witness said this act was ‘Udderly heinous and heartless,'”
I’m sure everyone’s heard about Amazon working on drone delivery of their products. And in fact they’re starting it up in places around the country with a $65 charge.
But finally someone’s starting to deliver something’s that really drone-worthy.
Blue Bell, the Texas Ice Cream maker, is starting up ice cream deliveries by drone up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Now that’s something I’d pay extra for.
Thought For The Day:
I’m so lucky people can’t hear what I’m thinking.
