Fuente, Hemingways, Short Story, 858s among others. (Opus X rarely) Punch, especially Champions. Por Larranaga Macanudo, most any. Montecristo White But all around favorite anytime, El Rey Del Mundo, Robusto and Robusto Larga. Tend to like those from the DR mostly. I worked at JRCigar for a...

When you see idiots on the highway, it is better to get out of the way and don't confront. If it's bad enough, call the law, but otherwise ignore it. That said, what really gets me is if you are passing slower traffic, but not really speeding, and some jerk running 25 over the limit catches up...

Don't think I had no. 1 but I had a ton of comic books from the early 50's into the 1960s. Superman was my favorite, but I had Green Lantern, Batman and all the other super heros. Also others I can't totally recall but there were some WW2 based comics I liked and I remember one as Sgt. Rock...

1966 GTO. 389, TriPower (3 Dueces) 4 Speed, Hedman headers, 3/4 race cam. This was in 1970. Gas was cheap. I didn't get much more than 8-10 mpg. most of the time. But I have never had a faster car. It was red, black interior, a real monster, and beautiful.

This ain't Dodge city. And you ain't Bill Hickok. OK then. Matthew Quigley. Quigley Down Under. Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman. Quigley to Marston: Said I never had much use for one. Didn't say I didn't know how to use it.

My wife never allows me to go to any medical appointment alone. I credit her to my surviving cancer, and a lethal heart problem, which required a quadruple bypass. I don't think I would have made it past 2008 without her. I owe her everything. I'll be there for her as long as I am alive. We...

Well, with RG3-and-out, maybe they should answer to Washington Redfaces.

So I think the reference was to Mr. Rogers saying he "never met a man he didn't like". And the Nixon is referring to that idiot governor of Missouri. Maybe. Good one.

Well it's 7:05, I'm just outside Durham. Where is the rage? The thugs and drug dealers already own Durham so I don't know what the rage would be about. Too hot right now anyhow. Well, that's outrageous.

Every now and then someone gets lucky. I gave my brother a Model 37 Airweight when he was running a small store alone. It was stolen of course and dutifully reported by me. Fifteen years later I had the same experience, a call from the county Sheriff to come pick it up. It had been taken off a...

Geez. I got Washington State. NWIH. But I do like Starbuck's coffee. I'll trade someone for Texas. Aw, c'mon.

Always loved the Mustangs, and most all WW2 planes. Saw one at a Blue Angels show once. What a great sound. I have had a CD for years that features an ME 109 from start up thru taxi, run up all the way to landing and taxi back. It was the only operational Bf109 in the world at the time. Might...

Steve McQueen Steve McQueen Oh yeah. Steve McQueen

Couple from New York were travelling thru NC and when they saw the sign for Charlotte got into a conversation about how to pronounce a Southern name. One said "Shar-loat" and the other said "Shar-lotti". So they stopped at a fast food joint to eat, and after ordering, the husband said to the...

I love my state. But between it and Texas, if I had had a choice, I'd be there. Always felt a pull, never even been there. Maybe it's the Dr Pepper and Shiner Bock. I have a big Texas star hanging in my den my son brought me on his last trip there. I get some looks sometimes when I wear my...
