Underscoring At Its Best

The single best piece of reporting Ive seen in at least the last 2 hours:

No charges have been filed, but police believe alcohol is a contributing factor to the incident.

Pretty standard fare, yes?  Check out the story:

Thomas Johnson, of Gardner, and Seth Davis, of Winchendon, fell out of a bathroom window on the bus and onto the highway. Johnson was killed at the scene, while Davis remains in critical condition at UMASS Medical Center in Worcester.

The bus, run by Colonial Tours of Boston, was returning from the Red Hook Brewery in Portsmouth N.H. and was on its way to Gardner, Mass.

Dood.

More Shameless Self Promotion

I just passed another milestone:

More comments than posts!

Next up; more comments that spam 🙁

He’s Still Out

In my mind, the greatest World Series Ever Played took place after the 1991 season.  The Minnesota Twins vs. The Atlanta Braves.

Kirby Pucket

Black Jack Morris

And if you are a Braves fan, the one play that sticks in your craw is this one:

Believe me, I know your pain:

Anyway, head to Target Field this summer and get your “He’s STILL Out” bobble head for yourself!

New Milestone

My first 1000 hit week!

Thanks ya’ll!

Coffee

Like everyone, I love L-O-V-E my morning coffee.  Perhaps like many fewer, I like my coffee to be of specific make; Goya Espresso coffee.

As I made my coffee this morning, I noticed that I was running a bit low and would need more soon.

So, I got on my magic typewriter, typed some letters that included “www” and entered an online “market” where distributors from all over creation competed to sell me my Goya.  More than that?  They’re shipping it to my door for free.

Gotta tell ya’, that free market sure does suck.

Good or Bad – More Blogging in 2011

I’m gonna try and increase my output here at Tarheel.  I find it fun, enjoyable and educational.  Since I’ve started this I’ve found many things about me I didn’t know.

Further, I am MUCH more informed about the things going on around me.

If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.

Charge!

7000

the previous 3 months it’s taken an average of just shy of 2 months to get a 1000 hits.  Today marks a new best:

19 days.

Again, trivial nonsense, but not bad for a little kid from a small farm town.

2 Days 3 Milestones

So, Wednesday, I set a record for most hits in a day.

Then I broke it Thursday.

And on Thursday, I had more than 100 hits in a day.

Awesome stuff.

6000 Today

I skipped 5000 because I went from 48 days between 1000 hits all the way down to 65.

Today, we are back to 48 days between 1000.

Kinda trivial nonsense, but it makes me feel good.

Best Month

Ever.

As I realized that I wasn’t providing content, I stepped it up.

The result?

I have had the best month ever here.  With 5 days to go.
