JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. SENIOR MOMENT-- On the way over to Ray Chevrolet in Fox Lake, I turned accidentally into the American Legion parking lot and was wondering why I was in that parking lot. Then I remembered, I wasn't going there. What was it that the trooper said back on that old "Please Mr. Custer" song?
2. RECALL, OIL CHANGE & ROTATION-- We took the '11 Malibu over to Ray Chevrolet for the Chevy Recall, an oil change and tire rotation.
3. K.C.'S CABIN-- While waiting for the '11 to be finished, we drove the '03 Malibu to K.C.'s Cabin for their buy one, get one breakfasts. Great deal. The two of us ate for $12 including coffee and Coke.
4. NIU ST. VALENTINE'S MASSACRE-- It dawned on us that we were at K.C.'s Cabin on Feb. 14, 2008, when we saw NIU on TV. Unfortunately, it was because of the murders of five students.
5. NIU MEMORIES-- On the way home, we were listening to 103.9 FM, the Fox and they played "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. That reminded us of NIU's Tune Room at the University Center where that song often played back in 1969-1970. That reminded us of the Pow-Wow Room next to it where most fraternities would claim a table for the day a good place to meet friends in between (and during) classes.
6. GAS GOUGE-- Gas in Fox Lake, Illinois, was up to $2.49. That is a 27 cent increase since Thursday!!
7. WBRF-- I am listening to Classic Country 98.1 FM in Galax, Virginia, right now on the internet. I always listen to it while driving back and forth to North Carolina. Some really fine country oldies music. They are talking about cold with lows near 18 degrees tonight and windchill watches Saturday-Sunday as low as 20-25 below zero.
"What Am I Doing Here?" --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
