When Antarctica finds his way all the way down to Mobile, you know everyone above is taking a hit for us. Hope everyone stays warm...
If you see a homeless person out in this cold you can call Eric Overstreet at 251-228-8454 for details about a shelter open at the Theodore Church of God. There are shuttles from downtown and Tillman's Corner, so there's no reason for anyone in the Mobile area to be left outside in the sub-freezing weather coming tomorrow and Wednesday...thanks to Theodore Dawes Fire Rescue for making everyone aware on social media...also, please visit their page on Facebook to help a member of their team who is ill, Firefighter Lieutenant Buddy Clickstine...
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday and also a holiday with store and other business closings. One of the saddest days in American history is when his young life was ended by those who did not want to see equality in our country. Fortunately, those people did not get their way, even though it's still a way to go before Dr. King's Dream is fully realized...
Everybody is chattering about the thing going on with revered downtown restaurant Spot of Tea, a mammoth battle between the health department and some violations they say they found inside the Dauphin Street restaurant... the restaurant may be temporarily closed and some scheduled events moved to another restaurant, The Ruby Slipper...hopefully everything will be ironed out and back to normal soon, especially with Mardi Gras Money season on the cusp...
It's so cold in Iowa today that Frosty the Snowman posted his plans for a vacation in California this week...
Today is Iowa's big, anticipated GOP caucus. That's where a few select Republicans vote who to support for the upcoming presidential race...Devilish favorite Donald Trump, after mowing down the only other candidate who could be a threat to him - Nikki Haley, told caucus members to get out and vote "even on your deathbed - it will be worth it." There are a lot of people who would lay on the ground and die for Donald Trump. I am proud to say I am not one of them. It could be a spring day with butterflies flittering and birds chirping and it's still a great big ole no...but here is what I do love about the Donald - if someone did vote for him on their deathbed, and died in the process, he would not attend their funeral because it would "make him look weak" to be associated with someone who was obviously a failure in life because they died going outside to vote. Now that's what I call being a true American! We know what's up...
A lot of locals' favorite band The Red Clay Strays will perform in Fairhope on Friday March 29th...tickets are on stubhub and this one looks like good sellout potential...
You know how sometimes when you are scrolling through stuff and you see a "new" product and think wow, what's next? Apparently the Men's Pocket Toilet, which promises you will never have to hold your pee again on road trips. The "toilet" looks like - well, you know those plastic vacuum hoses at carwashes? It looks like a piece of one of those. It hides the man's p-p so no one has to go through the traumatic experience of seeing one...while it may hide your stuff it probably will not change the fact that urinating in public is a crime in most places...
What's up with me today, voting on the deathbed and p-p cloaks...maybe it's that cold weather coming in...
Here's some more promising news...a new restaurant is opening at 219 Conti Street, downtown. It's called Penton's Bistro and from the looks of the set-up inside if the food is anything like the décor it's going to be a winner... the exact open date is not known but it should be "any day now..."
Shameless Self-Promotion Kiosk: I am working on another book, this one a series of "horror" stories...the first book in the series should be published soon, a few weeks, a month...and if you are still planning that first trip to Paris, my short expose on my own trip, Seven Days in Paris could prove useful. It's not a guidebook but does have suggestions for restaurants and navigating Paris...or, if fiction is your thing and you want to see the roles of Whites and Blacks reversed in the Sixties, The Color White just might satiate your appetite...Heavy Metal fans might enjoy this fiction piece: The Chronicles of Norvovia: Battle of the Bands...
Stay warm, help others stay warm including checking on elderly who live alone... homeless and pets...despite our little tiffs here and there we really are all in this together....it just occurred to me, I am elderly and I live alone...but don't worry about me, I got matches, newspapers and an oil drum...
