The View From My Window. Saturday, May 23, 2015. If Those Are Just The Tires, Imagine What They Are Attached To. I've driven past giant windmill propellers in Iowa and I've seen a house or two make their way down the highway headed for a new foundation somewhere but I don't think I've ever seen tires requiring their own separate over-sized load semi. Which begs the question if these are just the tires, what are they going to be attached to? Saturday, May 9, 2015. Savannah And Forrest Gump. Initially ther...

The View From My Window. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Revisiting Olde Towne Morrow. A few weeks ago I wrote about visiting the abandoned Olde Towne Morrow. Area near our local mall and mentioned that in a few weeks the city was going to have an End of Summer get-together there. I was very interested to see how the area would be transformed and so we headed over see what was what. I'll start first with the carnival that was set up at the Olde Towne's entrance. Sunday, September 28, 2014. We started with a...

The View From My Window. Thursday, June 11, 2015. Some More National Parks Cards. A few months ago I highlighted some trading cards I found at Ocmulgee National Monument in Georgia. And while my parents were on vacation in New Mexico my Dad found another set of cards from the Fort Union National Monument. Fort Union dates back to 1851 and was located on the Santa Fe Trail near modern day Las Vegas. Around the Fort you can still see many long portions of the Santa Fe Trail. This is Francisco Chaves.

The View From My Window. Saturday, April 25, 2015. On the Atlantic coast just outside of Savannah you will find Fort Pulaski. Once one of the strongest and most defensible military installations in the new United States. And fire on the fort without any danger of receiving fire back. The siege lasted 12 days and by the end it had made brick fortifications obsolete. The fort of course is named after the Polish hero of the Revolutionary War, Casimir Pulaski,. Who was killed at the Battle of Savannah. It is...

The View From My Window. Monday, November 10, 2014. Fall Has Finally Arrived. In case you wondered, fall does eventually come to Atlanta if you wait long enough. Although there are so many evergreen trees around our neighborhood there are now patches of very brilliant color. These five trees are along the parking lot of a Jehovah's Witness church near us. Saturday, November 8, 2014. The Waterproof Camera Shots From Our Trip To South Padre Island. The sun came out for a few of my photos. These last two de...

The View From My Window. Saturday, March 21, 2015. Marvel With A Mango: Low Country Fish Boil From Seafoodlicious. A few weeks ago my parents, my wife, and I spent a weekend in Savannah. We saw the sites around town and we wanted to try to local cuisine and as Savannah is on the coast we wanted to get some seafood. My Mom mentioned that she had had some great low country fish boil the last time she was in Savannah and after a few google searches we found a little restaurant called Seafoodlicious. Today I...

The View From My Window. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. The Louisville Slugger Museum. If you ever get the chance to visit the Louisville Slugger Museum. Don't miss it. Even if you are just driving through invest 20 minutes to the gift shop and the very front of the store [without even paying to get into the museum] because it will be well worth your time. Featured on a Louisville Slugger and someday I hope to track down a Pafko bat for myself. Here are a few more of my favorites: Ken Hubbs. Use My Camera on ...
