That… Which Matters Most

  • 1950 Studebaker Champion

    As my sons and I were walking through Calvert taking pictures of doors, we heard the whistle of an approaching train. The tracks passed a block north of town and I immediately thought about getting a depth-of-field shot of the approaching train. We ran for the tracks, but the train… Listen ⇢

  • Bare Feet and Boots

    The boots below are the epitome of getting your money’s worth when it comes to boots. You can see that they are well worn, and now they are lawn decorations. The bare feet are Joey’s as he walks on the roots of a next to the beach on Lake Texoma… Listen ⇢

  • Thursday Doors — Calvert, TX Part 6

  • Out and About: Marquise Pro

    Rerun: originally posted March 28, 2020.  Heidi and I took advantage of the sunny weather and walked over to an area super market to get some yellow onions. I know, probably too much information. But that was what we were doing when we rounded the corner of the Hobby Lobby… Listen ⇢

  • Death of a Washer

    I was with my Dad back in November when Heidi called and told me that our washer had caught fire. She quickly turned it off, but it still smoked for a while. Our son in-law is an appliance repair man, so she called him to get an over-the-phone diagnosis. In… Listen ⇢
