How many times did the word “Pasadena” appear in the Sunday Tuscaloosa Times this week? And since my son is an alumnus, Roll Tide!

Flying across the United States, I noticed on one of those progress maps on the TV screen in front of me a place called “Atlantic City Wyoming.” Of course I wondered why anyone would name a place in Wyoming, “Atlantic City.” The next thing I wondered is whether it has a boardwalk. I got the answers to those questions. It’s Atlantic City because it was founded as a mining community and it’s near the Atlantic Lode. It doesn’t have a boardwalk. It’s kind of a ghost town. Fewer than 50 people live there and it’s only accessible over land on a gravel road. So now, my only question about Atlantic City is, why is a place like that even on the GPS map the airlines show for your in-cabin entertainment when you’re flying cross country? While I’m at it, why is the Atlantic Lode called that when it’s in Wyoming?

Have you or anyone else you know ever stayed in a hotel with a quiet HVAC system?

Why do car rental companies even bother to tell you what kind of car they rent? I’ve never gotten the car they said, have you? Historically, you got a better car if they couldn’t deliver what they promised. A few times recently, I was offered a lesser car for the same price. That should open them up to charges of false advertising, don’t you think?
