Standing on a bridge leads to arrest

Asheville is a very nice community. The weather is nice. The mountains are beautiful. The politics lean toward the liberal side. So, I didn’t think any thing of a guy holding a sign on an overpass that read “IMPEACH BUSH”. (I guess I didn’t see or remember the Cheney portion of the sign).

Phillips said he had the signed propped on the Haywood Road bridge railing over I-240. (more…)

In one of the songs on that CD, reference is made to the base running speed of former St. Louis Cardinal outfielder Lou Brock. (more…)
