Please welcome Ray Hamill as Wednesday’s Guest today. I reviewed his book, Free the Leprechaun on Sunday, and hope you caught the review. Ray said one of his favorite drinks is dark Irish tea, although I’m guessing he uses a mug and not a fancy tea cup, but he can clarify for us later. He […]

Please welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with another one of his tales featuring the guys at the Mule Barn Truck Stop Think Tank. This story really resonated with me, as I could relate to Mrs. Morris, and thank goodness I have neighbors like Windy, although my neighbors talk purt near normal. While Slim
