Knew Hayes back in college. Awesome person. His song Faulkner Street is pretty much inspired by a college hangout house that we would all chill at....

He had an. essay he was working on for English for the first half of the trip there, so we talked through a lot of that for several hours. Then he had his headphones in because he was typing. I ended up listening to first season of Old Gods of Appalachia. I'll likely be breaking that out more in the...

My advice is to fly.[/quote]
We travel with bikes, which makes flying (and car rental / ground transport for the bikes) a pain. In all honesty, unless I can get a direct flight... I'm driving anywhere I can get to in 12-16 hours these days. I enjoy being in my car. I do not enjoy being i...

Anyone looking at the Fellow Aiden drip machine?
It might just be the one that persuades me to up my game. The wife and I both drip due to convenience (and very early/quick wakeup routines). As such, pourovers and such aren't practical for us as first coffee in the morning.

I'm with whoever said that they don't make bad albums. This one is up there in the canon for me, though. I listened to it so much in the first week, that my wife has requested a break from it in our listening rotation. :lol:

It might have happened at some specific event, but they were absolutely awesome members of the NWA community (to the point that my wife who doesn't follow hog sports was lik...

Hah. Not familiar with how the folk music and bluegrass scene fed into the psychedelic music scene? Jerry Garcia was a huge bluegrass fan before he was ever in the Dead. Like he travelled around to bluegrass festivals and made audio recordings. He also played banjo and performed in quite a few blueg...

Surprised Waltons coming. They've been pouting (and holding off on their giving) ever since their choice for Chancellor didn't get selected. Maybe that's going to come to an end.

Posted by hogfly on 4/10/24 at 9:51 am
I understand the inclination to dismiss these folks "gains" (losses) as non-lasting. That being said, it goes against just about all the science on formation of habits and lifestyle changes to dismiss this out of hand. Often some kind of catalyst/impetus is needed to establish or break habits.

Audiobook for 20 Hours in the car with teenage son
Posted by hogfly on 4/10/24 at 9:23 am
My teenage son and I are heading to Tennessee for a mountain bike clinic this weekend. We will be in the car for about 20 hours over the next 72 hours or so. I listened to [i]Kitchen Confidential[/i] on our last road trip, and he ended up just putting his airpods in and listening to music.

re: Just started taking Vyvanse. Is it okay to drink coffee or energy drink while on it?
Posted by hogfly on 4/6/24 at 4:24 pm
Vyvanse is much, much less “speedy” than adderall. It also creates a superior focus, imo. So yeah, you’re fine with caffeine on Vyvanse. ...

Yeah. We are members. Crystal Bridges is expanding and will roughly double in size, and they’re putting the new whole health institute right in that area as well, which is a school of medicine with a holistic approach that Alice Walton is funding.
Bentonville is absolutely bonkers. It has more ...

Branson isn't prettier than the Buffalo area. Not by a long shot. Branson is also freaking cheesy. I do agree that NWA and Tennessee have quite a bit in common. As does, North Carolina. We've found ourselves having to go to Tenn and NC a lot lately for mountain bike racing, and we don't ge...

[quote]It says he's visited each state at least 3 times. On the Arkansas portion it mentions he's bene to Little Rock but not anywhere in the NW. So if he hasn't bene to Fayetteville or anywhere else noteworthy up there, did he just visit Little Rock 3 times? Imagine basing your opinion of the state...

Posted by hogfly on 4/3/24 at 9:09 am
Eh. I liked it a lot.
The one thing I didn't like, as others have stated, was the randomly writing in the Tuskogee Airmen toward the end. I'm all about representation and inclusion and such, but it just felt like tokenism, in all honesty.
If they would have somehow included a parallel storylin...

Pizzeria Ruby is amazing. Prepare to wait. You can also order "to go" get drinks and eat on the picnic tables outside.
Taco and Tamale is fine. Yellow Rocket does great work in hospitality. I went a ton when they first opened, but we haven't been in a while. I've just gotten way more into real me...

GOT over the Wire :lol: :lol: :lol:
Give me a freaking break. I'm a huge GOT fanboy (books and show), but that's ridiculous.
The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Sopranos, and Battlestar Galactica are all superior series to GOT, imo....
