South of the Border, a tourist trap in South Carolina that took advantage of the differences in state laws to sell fireworks.…

In July 2012 we took a little family vacation to Austin. My son had just graduated, was heading off to college and did not join us. My daughter was able to bring a friend. We got a condo right on the river, or at least where the river used to be.…

I’ve been meme’d!
My aunt sent me an album of old family pictures. I like looking at old pictures to see the details in the background. Like a picture of my grandmother from 1912 shows a stack of newspapers. When you zoom in on the papers you can see headlines from the first Balkan War Turkish defeat in Greece.…

I’ve always had an affinity for dinosaurs, megafauna, and
kaiju. At the
