Note: We have a long day ahead of us today and I am short on time, so here is a repost of a blog I am sure sports fans will enjoy. If you are a football fan, especially college football, no trip to Alabama should be complete without a stop at the Paul W. Bryant […]
Tuscaloosa is the home of the University of Alabama and the school’s formidable Crimson Tide football team. You can’t drive two blocks anywhere around here without seeing the slogan “Roll Tide” emblazoned on billboards, stores, cars, and clothing. When we moved here, my pal DC Stultz sent me a couple of Roll Tide decals for […]
If you are a football fan, especially college football, no trip to Alabama should be complete without a stop at the Paul W. Bryant Museum on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Known simply as Bear to his legions of fans and former players, Bryant was almost a mythical figure to those […]
If you live in Alabama you have to be a football fan. In fact, I think a requirement to graduate from middle school is to be able to recite from memory the names of all of the great Alabama football players and coaches, starting back in the days of Adam and Eve, assuming they played […]

We even had a few snow flurries predicted for Friday night! Today it’s supposed to be clear, with highs in the low 50s. That may […]
After our long travel day Thursday we slept like babies. I don’t think either of us even heard the trains that rolled past nearby during the night. But as RVers, we are so accustomed to railroad noise that we just accept it as part of life. I don’t know who passed the Federal law that […]
