Rainy days in Sunny Isles Beach, FL.



This week I returned to Florida visiting the Sunny Isles Beach area. I can tell you it wasn’t sunny, lol! Twice Tuesday evening I was awaken in my hotel room by large thunderstorms, pounding rains and heavy winds. It was like a mini hurricane!!

Judd’s Memorial



Sunday the family gathered at the Moresi’s home to attend a memorial for Judd. There were prayers, songs, tears and laughter. I think Judd would have been pleased. All three daughters spoke about their Dad and I was very proud of Beth and her eulogy to her Dad. We all said goodbye to a wonderful man, a fantastic father and a loving husband. We miss and love you.

Boeing 767



Yesterday for the first time I flew back to Atlanta from Miami in a Boeing 767 wide body airliner. Very comfortable aircraft with great leg room even in couch. There were 60 medallion members looking for upgrades into 30 first class seats and I didn’t make the cut! Oh well it was a nice flight regardless.

Three Cancer Girlfriends!


Pictured here are three childhood girlfriends around the same age all growing up in Oakridge TN all with Cancer!

I love to car watch when in Miami. This red Ferrari stopped next to me at a stop light and had my name all over it. Santa are you listening, lol?

New Miami Airport Transit Mall


Miami International Airport opened it's new transit mall last week. The new "People Mover" connects the terminals with the Rental Car Facility.
Oddly the mall is painted a bright pink with a XXX on the wall making the traveler think that they might be entering a less than normal book store, lol!

Cooler Weather



With the coming of the cooler weather Marco has returned to his warm pillow bed in the office during the day to nap.

ABC


While visting the LA area my hotel was located just down the street from ABC/Disney's new headquarters in Burbank Ca. All of their studios and filming are here. I tried to schedule a tour but there is a two month waiting list!!!

Randy's Donuts


A few weeks ago I made a quick four day trip to LA. I'm pleased to announce that after being destroyed in numerous SiFi movies Randy’s Donuts is still safe and very sound doing great business on its corner outside LAX.
Randy's was built in 1953 (and first appears in the 1954 edition phone book) as the second location of the now-defunct Big Donut Drive-In chain by Russell C. Wendell, a donut machine salesman. There were 10 locations, built over the course of the 1950s. At least four other Big Donuts survive: they are Kindle's Donuts in Los Angeles (this is the original location, built in 1950), the Donut King II in Gardena, Dale's Donuts in Compton, and Bellflower Bagels in Bellflower. Each features the distinctive giant donut constructed of rolled steel bars covered with gunnite, the material used in swimming pools. Five Big Donuts have been demolished. They were located in Culver City, North Hollywood, Inglewood (on Imperial Hwy, 7), Van Nuys and Reseda.

Woodstock Tornado





A tornado hit our area a 1/8th of a mile from our house on Labor Day causing damage to about 400 homes and businesses in the area. These pictures were taken just down the street and show the path of the tornado.
Authorities say one person was injured in the tornado as the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee crossed the state.
Lt. Jay Baker with the Cherokee County Sheriff's department said the storm toppled trees Monday afternoon and several trees landed in homes. He said the victim was taken to the hospital but the person's condition is not known.
Weather officials say much of North Georgia is being hit with heavy rains and strong winds as the storm system moves through. Most of the state was under tornado and flood watches starting Monday afternoon.
Officials also said the state will get between two and four inches of rain by Tuesday morning and we did!!

Holiday Inn Egg Flats!!


While visiting Morgantown I stayed at the Holiday Inn and was treated to Egg Flats for breakfast!!! They were pretty good what ever they really were, lol!!

Morgantown PA.



A few weeks ago I visited the Morgantown PA area.
Morgantown was named after Colonel Jacob Morgan, who laid out the town around 1770. His father, Thomas, had been a native of Wales, a captain in the French and Indian War, and owner of a large tract of choice land in Caernarvon Township. Jacob Morgan settled in this area around 1765, building a large stone house "picture above", which still stands on Hartz Road between Mineview Drive and Shiloh Road. It is rumored to have housed George Washington during a brief overnight visit. The house has been restored by its owners.

Ping House Miami



While visiting Miami a last week I was able to visit my favorite Chinese restaurant in the US. I've been a regular customer of the Ping House for 15 years because they make the best chicken fried rice in the country!!! Plus the owner calls me Kenny Rogers, lol!!!
