Pawnee Rock Post Office. 67567. Boy, I spent so much time in this building, I could probably write a book about it. There was a sign on the door that said: No Loitering. I assume the statue of limitations has run so I can say that I loitered here. A lot. Especially in the winter …
A Big Day
When my brother and I were kids and had a busy or important day ahead of us, my mom would tell us, “Eat a good breakfast. You’ll need it. You’re going to have a big day today.” I hope Barack Obama ate a big breakfast this morning.
Pawnee Rock Dress Shop
It doesn’t look so hot now, but about 40 years ago, this center building was the Pawnee Rock Dress Shop. My mom worked there, so I spent a lot of time feeling the silky scarves and the jersey dresses. It’s hard to believe now that PR had a clothing store, but it did. I think …
Just stuff
1) Flyover Friend Roger got a new camera for Christmas. Now that he’s finally got the battery charged, he’s been taking pictures like crazy. He’s going to out-photo me! Here’s a photo from yesterday that he posted on Emporia Daily Photo. And he’s posting a picture a minute on his various Facebook pages and groups. …

Pizza Ranch is located at 3000 W. 18th Ave. in Emporia. If you haven’t met any of us Flyover People “regulars” personally, look …
It didn’t matter…
… that my head was stuffed and my nose was sore, that my lungs were coughed out, or that I had only, finally, fallen asleep at two in the morning, Tiger said, “It’s my job…. At 3 a.m., I must. wake. a. human.”
Too many cars?
Hey, I have a friend who needs a car. Soon. She’s not particular on make or model – she just wants something with relatively low mileage, a vehicle that is inexpensive and dependable. If you happen to have an extra vehicle sitting around that you’d like to sell, let me know and I’ll pass on …
Looks like I picked…
…the wrong week to give up complaining! On Sunday, after reading that all the members of Tracy’s family were going to do something they don’t normally do this week, I wanted to play along too. I thought about going vegetarian for a week or taking on a new project – but both of those require …
Vulture kitteh
When I’m sitting in the recliner, sometimes the Tiger jumps on the back of the chair and looks down over me.
Ha!
It snowed today and I’m not even whining. Something must be wrong with me.
A question… or two…
Just thinking today about the friends I’ve made online – and how this big World Wide Web brings people together. Thought it might be fun to have a conversation about it. So – How has the Internet connected you with people you otherwise might not have “met” or encountered? How have those Internet connections changed …
