I finally win something

by Earl Moore on January 27, 2010

in Observations

Toyota has a recall and current sales suspension on eight recent models (2009-2010) of it’s most popular automobiles for a problem which might cause the accelerator pedal to stick partially or fully open. They’ve not announced a fix yet and say it’s rare and is more likely to happen as the accelerator mechanisms become worn. [...]

A little snow here, more else where

by Earl Moore on December 21, 2009

in Observations

Paul’s locally accurate and lovely weekend slideshow “One minute of winter” in Charlotte, NC would have been a little different if done west or north or west of his location.
Here in Salisbury, about 35-40 mile northeast of the Charlotte there was between 3-4 inches of snow — much of which still covers the [...]

Moving beyond my preconceptions

Late autumn beside the river
About a month ago I was surprised by my wife giving me a Kindle electronic book reader from Amazon. While I’d looked at this devices in the past I’d always thought that I’d miss the experience of the physical book, the touch and turning of the actual pages. Receiving this device [...]

It’s never been easy for those who answered the call. We are here thanks to their willingness to serve and sacrifice. Thank-you!

Closed comments not intentional

by Earl Moore on September 16, 2009

in Blogging, Observations

I apologize to any who have wanted to make comments recently but have found the comments for a particular post closed. I never purposely close comments but this blog seems to have a mind of its own lately and is closing some at its own discretion.
I think there’s a plugin to blame. Please hang in [...]

Foster wants his own web page

by Earl Moore on September 14, 2009

in Observations

It seems that having a dog diagnosed with Idiopathic Epilepsy* is more about a journey then a single event. I’ve added a special page to Meandering Passage for recording Foster’s experiences–see the [Foster] menu tab above the header.
I was already keeping notes of major events on a calendar but this may be a better way [...]

Plans are optional

Awaking from a summers dream
I was to be at the beach this weekend–an annual summer business trip and usually a lot of fun. However, late Tuesday night, before we were to leave Thursday morning, our dog Foster had an hour long series of cluster seizures.

Life is something that happens to you while you’re making other [...]

The Blues

by Earl Moore on July 12, 2009

in Observations, Photography

Yesterday, we attended the Back Dog Wine and Blues Festival at Chateau Morrisette Winery, Meadows of Dan near Floyd, VA. It turned out to be a full and fun day with neat perfect weather.
Coated in Sunblock 70, I didn’t suffer any sunburn but others in our small group didn’t fair as well. I’ll never forget [...]

by Earl Moore on July 10, 2009

in Observations

I guess I’m in an introspective mood today. I hope you have a few moments to find your own inspiration today.

I’m not promoting “the secret” but I thought it was a nice inspiring video. It would be nice to wake up each morning certain that this was going [...]

4th of July tradition

by Earl Moore on July 4, 2009

in Observations, Photography

Last evening we drove to my sisters and brother-in-laws farm in nearby Statesville, NC, for what has become a 4th of July tradition. Friends and family converge with food around 7pm for a cook-out/picnic style meal in their yard followed by a fireworks display in an adjacent field after darkness falls.
The event seems to grow [...]

Upgraded my cell phone

by Earl Moore on June 30, 2009

in Observations

I got a new cell phone, an LG Dare. It’s a touch screen phone with some nice features. It’s not an iPhone or even a Palm Pre but it seems a capable phone/pda. The more I use it the more I’m liking it.
I’d always said I wouldn’t leave Verizon for a particular phone and I [...]
