OK. Go Ahead and Laugh. Great Clips Haircut.
It's time to kick off the grilling season plus I was guest speaking about blogging tonight, so I thought I'd dash in to Great Cuts in Salisbury, NC at the Lowe's Plaza near Tinsel Town (Faith Road) and get a haircut before the program on blogging (featuring my barbecue blog - of course).
I was the ONLY person there, so I got fast service.

My friend from work, Lori, invited me to visit with Cub Scout Pack 320 last week. The boys were working on the communication loop, and I thought they'd be interested in new technology like my blog. Since it's a grilling blog, it seemed like a good idea to break out the grill for some hands on fun.

Jack Daniel knew his whiskey. He grew up in the Tennessee mountains where moonshining was an honored profession.

When the preacher decided to hang up his copper coils, thirteen-year-old Daniel bought out the business.
