What to do with scratched compact discs?

One of my hobbies is going around to various discount book / music stores and picking up music discs. Sometimes I know what I am getting (the other day I was able to pick up six different discs from the Eagles for $2 each) and sometimes I have no idea. When I only spend a [...]

1963 Was A Good Year…

I have been collecting the Time Life “Classic Rock” series of compact discs these last few months. It’s a fun hobby. I started with the 70’s and 80’s and then started extending back into the 60’s. Time Life is not much different from other “series” collectables. Once they find something that sells they [...]

More Dallas Auto Show Pictures

No Corvettes this time, just a few other pictures I took at the show.

Never Know What You Might Find…

I like to shop at discount book and record (cd) shops. Over the years I have found some interesting things. This past week, for example, I found a compact disc from Miranda Lambert that I didn’t recognize. She has three national releases that I already have, but this one was different. The copyright year was [...]

Who is worse?

A few days ago I had a quandary… who to feel the most sorry for?
Was it the idiot in the wrong lane who realized nearly at the last moment and put on their turn signal to move over a lane?
Or was it the jerk in the correct lane that purposefully sped up to prevent the [...]

Championship Material

Well, that was interesting.
It was a real shame that Colt got knocked out of the game so quickly. I would have liked to see him have the chance to end his career with an amazing championship game. Instead I got to watch Saban call conservative plays and yell at his special teams coach.
Wasn’t that a [...]

LSU Season Over

Oh what might have been on a solid field…
LSU managed to mismanage the clock yet again. When there is less than sixty seconds on the clock, you don’t spend five seconds in formation before you start the play. One second is plenty. Yet that’s what they managed to do on their next to last play. [...]

Bowl Matchups

LSU gets a decent bowl, although it would have been cool to have them come to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl. I might have tried to get tickets if that were the case. Penn State is certainly a worthy and intriguing opponent as well.
Texas probably should have lost to Nebraska. I can’t remember a worse [...]

Season Recap

A few weeks ago I posted that I expected LSU to go 2-2 over their last four games. With some “expert” clock management we managed to do just that. At 9-3 LSU should get invited to a good bowl game, but we’ll find out for sure later this week.
After all of the upsets [...]

What Could Have Been… LSU Plays ‘Bama Tight

Oh if only the camera man had panned lower, Peterson might have had an interception that turned the game around. Oh, if only Peterson had not been out of the game when Julio Jones made his 73 yard catch and run for a touchdown. Two simple but important plays that might have changed the outcome [...]
