I’ve started regularly taking the commuter train to Boston, as I’m trying to extend the life of my car as well as save a bit of money in gasoline and tolls on the Mass Pike.I’ve always enjoyed people watching. I’ll never forget that, on my very first trip to New York City during the summer of 1998, I sat on the subway in Manhattan from the south to the north end and then went back again — just because of the different types of people I saw.It was fun to try and put stories to these people…were they coming to or from the office…were they going to visit friends…were they tourists, like me, who were just here “to be here.”

That’s why the strict…and sometimes inconvenient schedule of the commuter train is worth it. Where else can a guy who spent most of his life in northern and central Alabama see thousands of people in the span of minutes from all walks of life? It is simply amazing — and fun if I put some imagination in it and really make the background stories elaborate!

Enviro-logs A-burnin’

You ask what an Enviro-log is? It’s something I bought from Wal-Mart a little while ago that looks like something that a Wookie might puke up after eating something that didn’t agree with him. But I’ll tell you this…it burns for a LONG time.

So…now you might (or might not) be wondering why I’m burning Enviro-logs. I’m heading down to Alabama for a couple of weeks, and instead of staying in hotels, we’re taking the cheaper option and camping out at some state parks along the way.

Ok…now it’s time to go roast some marshmellows!

Hazard Lights = “Watch Out, I’m Being Stupid”

Something I *have* to comment on as I’m sitting on the Pike is people that drive with their hazard lights on.

Do you really think that putting your hazard lights on will make your driving in the breakdown lane any less illegal?

I think not. Thanks for making my long commute even longer down the road, while you try to force yourself back into a regular lane at the next exit.
