WIXYmobile back on the road

After several months looking for the necessary parts, the WIXYmobile is back on the road-not a moment too soon. With the price of gas nowadays, I need the gas economy that car provides. It's not the best looking thing on the road, but it does take me there and bring me back.

This leads me to another question. Here in Ohio, there are special license plates for those who have DUI's on their records. This prompts me to ask this: Why are most of the cars with these tags better cars than the one I'm driving?

Update: I will post before and after photos of the WIXYmobile soon.

And as far as our "special" DUI tags, if you travel through Ohio, look for yellow plates with red numbers. One thing we are known for in Ohio are some very ugly license plates.

Sorry for laughing...I find this kind of funny.

Wow, I had no idea that any states had plates like that. That's kind of like wearing a scarlet letter. I'm surprised something like that got passed. Not that I'm against it.

As far as the better cars....Just look at Hollywood or ritzy communities and see how much partying is going on.

We don't have those tags here in Texas .. seems a good idea, as I would know who to stay clear of!

I agree with Pilgrim ... maybe they have money. In either case I would like to see your ride. Post a photo!

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The...
