It was a beautiful week here in East Texas. The sun was out for four days in a row. A record, as we have had weeks and weeks of gray skies and lots of rain. The good news is that we are no longer in a drought. The bad news is that it has been …
Slim Randles is here as Wednesday’s Guest, sharing a story about “Windy” Wilson. Windy isn’t one of the regulars down at the Mule Barn Truck Stop, but when he comes by, it’s always an interesting encounter. He likes to talk real big like to impress folks, but he doesn’t quite get the words right. Still, …
It’s been a busy week. Once I recovered from whatever it was that knocked me down last weekend, I had to play catch-up with the to-do list. That included working on an editing job for a client, planning my trip to Austin in April for DEAR Texas Day. On April 12 bookstores in cities across …
This from our favorite Wednesday’s Guest, Slim Randles, really resonated with me. I had a fishing buddy in Omaha who shared the same philosophy about fishing. Since we’re out at the creek with our rods, there’s no refreshments today. Just the clean, clear air and the cool, rushing water. And of course, our friends…. As …
Oh, poor Exxon Mobil. They aren’t taking in the millions anymore since gas prices have gone down. But I was shocked to read that they are planning to raise billions with a bond issue. Then I read this article by Nicholas Sakelaris in the Dallas Morning News, and understood the money isn’t to pay workers. …
As snow is melting in some parts of the country, our thoughts naturally turn to spring. The guys down at the Mule Barn Truck Stop, especially Doc, have some opinions about the winds of spring. Thanks to Slim Randles for being the Wednesday’s Guest today and sharing the fun with us. When you finish here, …
Here we are again at the Mule Barn Truck Stop with Slim Randles and friends. I do love having these guys as my Wednesday’s Guest. Enjoy the visit. And do take a moment after you read this offering to join Slim at DoublewideNetwork.com where his hour-long show, Home Country, is live. He talks the way …
I’m so glad that Slim Randles came back to be today’s Wednesday’s Guest with an update on the squirrel hoax that Doc started last week. Doc thought he had the upper hand on the joke, but read on and see who took it away from him. When you finish here, you can find me over …
Some days I hate to tell anyone that I am a journalist. The field of news reporting has changed so much since I worked at newspapers and magazines, I hardly recognize it at times. The latest fiasco is about Brian Williams, anchor for NBC News, and his “embellishing the facts” in some news reports. Public …
Please help me welcome Slim Randles with another bit of friv… er… humor to brighten our mid-week and push us off to Friday with a chuckle. Let’s join the guys at the Mule Barn truck stop and have a hot cup of coffee. Enjoy…. It might have been the winter doldrums that did it. You …
