LSU Runs to 4-0, SEC Action Highlights

LSU improved to 4-0 behind the running attack of Ridley and the big return from Patrick Peterson who already has two returns for scores this year. Jordan Jefferson continues to be underwhelming as the starter, but LSU managed to eek out a win. After watching the Arkansas / Alabama game this weekend it’s clear that [...]

Shopping With The Internet

This post should really be titled: Buy Direct and Save ! ! ! A few days ago I picked up some music from an artist named Jordan Critz. As I am shopping used book / cd stores, I will often use my smart phone to look up prices for the same item on [...]

LSU Extends Victory Streak, Beats Mississippi State on Five Interceptions

LSU still has not manifested much offense. Other than the first half against North Carolina they’ve looked fairly ordinary. However, their defense came up big against the Bulldogs with Patrick Peterson taking in two interceptions and the rest of the team chipping in three more for a total of five. Our kicker punched in five [...]

Now The Real Season Starts…

LSU took care of business at Vanderbilt this weekend. If they’re going to contend in the SEC West this year, they have to win the games they’re supposed to win, and they managed to do that. It wasn’t a stellar game, from what I read, but they got a good showing from their defense and [...]

Ugly Win to Open the Season

I thought about turning off the game at halftime with the Tigers up 30-10. I’m glad I didn’t. It turned out to be quite a nail-biter, didn’t it? And it certainly didn’t have to be that way.
LSU took on a depleted UNC squad in the annual SEC / ACC pairing to open the regular season [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
