“Memorial Day, which is observed on the last Monday of May, commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service. In observance of the holiday, many people visit cemeteries and memorials, and volunteers often place American flags on each grave site at national cemeteries. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.””

Memorial Day Weekend
For our friends around the world, Memorial Day Weekend marks the “unofficial” start of Summer here in the U.S.A.
Warm weather means thoughts of: Beaches, Barbeque, Camping, and everything that goes with it. And of course, GIRLS!
I’ll have a small Memorial Day post later. I hope you all have a safe and fun weekend.

Fastest Chicken In The South
The first time I saw a Chick-fil-A delivery car I started cracking up. All I could think of was Stroker Ace (Burt Reynolds) standing there in that silly chicken suit and climbing in this little car.

Eric’s Salsa Recipe
I’m not a fan of vegetables. About the only way I eat them is if they are in spicy Asian style dishes or in fajitas.
Salsa helps me get my veggies in. I use it for “taco salads”, on southwestern fare, on a burger, and as a snack. It’s fresh, delicious, and good for you.

HaPpY BiRtHdAy sir!
Somewhere back in middle school days, in some forgotten class, we had one of those “Weekly Reader” magazines. There was a play in there of the Star Trek episode Trouble With Tribbles. I had the good fortune to play the role of Captain James Tiberius Kirk.

The Martian Boogie
If you’re a Rock-N-Roll fan you’ve heard of Smokin’ in the Boys Room by Brownsville Station. It was famously covered by Mötley Crüe.
I thought I would share my favorite song from Brownsville Station. I’m not sure what made me remember it this morning but it just started running through my head. It is both funny and a serious bluesy rock jam.
