    Joshua Tree

    I am pondering a trip out to Joshua Tree National Park and the surrounding area later this summer. I'm nuts about hiking and photography and wide-open spaces, and there are some incredibly cool and affordable airbnb cabins available: Joshua Tree 2018 (with Photos): Top 20 Joshua Tree Vacation...

    Possibly the dumbest arrest ever

    A 22-year-old University of Georgia student was arrested about 2:15 Saturday morning when he mouthed off at a police officer who wouldn't give him a high-five, according to an Athens-Clarke police report. http://onlineathens.com/stories/041810/cop_611320859.shtml Can you imagine the guy's call...

    Life

    Is anybody else looking forward to the Discovery Channel series that starts tomorrow night? It was done, with the BBC, by the same folks that did Blue Planet and Planet Earth, which are two of the most amazing things I've ever seen on TV. I hate the fact that we're going to get the Oprah...

    The NCAA placed all 11 West Georgia athletics programs on probation for four years and barred all teams from postseason play after it was discovered that the school had no compliance system in place and that 119 ineligible athletes competed from 2004-09. All this happened under the former AD's...

    Furman Bisher's final column

    Here's the legendary AJC columnist's farewell piece: It was April 15, income tax day, in 1950 that this all began. Usually, such a run as this rarely ever carries on this long. Perhaps my act has worn thin. Perhaps I have over-stayed my time. But to an old warrior such as I, it isn’t easy...

    New Pearl Jam album out

    I just downloaded Backspacer from iTunes. So far so good. I really like Got Some, The Fixer and Supersonic. I buy Pearl Jam studio albums more to support the band than for my listening pleasure since about 1,000 of the 3,000 songs in my iPod/iPhone are live PJ songs. On the four-hour drive...

    Federer beats Nadal in Madrid final

    It's amazing to think that this is big news given that it's No. 1 vs. No. 2, but in this rivalry, with the way it was going, it is. Plus, it's the first tourney Fed has won all year. Still, I'll put everything I own on Nadal in Paris in two weeks...

    Southland

    Did anybody watch the premiere tonight? I thought it was good, and the show has the potential to be very good. Regina King is always great and the guy who played Bull in Band of Brothers was strong, as well. That said, it seems a little too serious and dark to last at a time when people would...

    Rescue Me returns

    Anybody else excited about the return of one of the best shows on TV. Tonight is the start of a 22-episode season that I think is going to run 22 weeks in a row. And according to a NY Times story, I think an 18-episode sixth season has already been ordered. I was hoping FX was going to re-air...

    I love the Huntsville airport

    I drove right in off I-565, found one of many parking spaces on the second floor of the deck, walked right up to the U.S. Airways counter and checked in, am now sitting here in a clean, quiet concourse using the free wireless. You can also fly direct to New York from here and get a bunch of...
