Dale and I attended Kent State in the 1970s, a few years after the shootings on May 4 1970. Since then the campus has expanded and still seems to be in the midst of a building boom. Pictures are of the campus today, the memorial and it’s famous black squirrels.Read more

Distillery mold and barbeque
April 10, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F
Dale loves his bourbon so we used our trip to Lexington Kentucky to visit distilleries, see beautiful horse country and eat barbecue. Distillery mold is a byproduct of bourbon aging (really a fungus) resulting in a black coating on the buildings. The pictures here are of old distilleries that are being restored back into new distilleries.

And the barbecue was Red State Barbeque. So good.Read more
