My friend is watching the Tour de France. I said if they had to take 6th Avenue with a basket full of groceries, I might watch.

When I was a student at Marshall, you had to go to Drinko Library to use a computer. That's me in the center.

A story from before social media:

This morning I woke up thinking about the time in college I was at Walmart buying corn and some old man told me not to waste my money on Walmart's "feed corn." I should go to Kroger and get some local sweet corn.

He was still standing by the corn when I checked out, so I think he had just taken it upon himself to stand in the produce section of Walmart singing the praises of Kroger corn.
