Palermo has been around for forever in my hometown. I never think about it when it comes to Italian food, even though I have been there 3 times prior. It is a family-owned restaurant that clams to make Italian food from scratch. Let’s get to the review! Blogger Note: on this trip we were in…

Another Trip Update for October 28th
This week I attended Freegen Church in Lapu Lapu. This is my girl’s old church. This was our second visit this month. I was wearing a prominent colored shirt and made a short video of the praise music which I later posted on Facebook. Yesterday, I found out that the photo collage that went on…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

As results started coming in an hour after the polls had closed, the Republican challenger began to amass a small lead. This lead grew to a few thousand votes and held steady for many hours. At about 1:30 AM, a…

No one likes this clown. 30 years in the business, mostly with Baltimore County in Maryland, then suddenly he moves to little Sacramento, CA? I do not think so. They call this “passing the trash” when it comes to moving around bad teachers in the local school district. Are we to believe this guy is…

Joe Biden has offered an olive branch of sorts to some Republicans in the Trump Administration. Biden has offered to retain most of the Republican women currently employed in the White House for his first term. When surprised reporters got wind of this news, they queried the presumptive President Elect. Biden replied that Trump’s White…

With the election in the rear-view mirror we can hopefully begin to look forward to a return to normalcy right? Not so fast! New restrictions have been levied by Governors and Mayors all over the country in regard to “spiking” COVID-19 rates. I use air quotes because this is an infectious disease and is transmittable…

For those of you that think the good guys always win and those that follow the rules ultimately prevail, please avoid your televisions, radios, internet, and if there’s any left, newspapers, for the next four years because you might learn that it doesn’t always work that way. Those of us lamenting the railroad job the…
