May her memory be a blessing. #AT40

And I can see Highway 41 up the road from our winter home here in Florida. Not many Greyhound buses on it (or birthing babies). But lots of FedEx trucks because there's a huge distribution center about two miles away. #AT40

Also very picky.

My favorite was track announcer in California. "The sponsor can't hear your promos over the roar of the engines." Well, tell them to drive more quietly!

Oh, the life of a public address announcer. "Where's the damn promo? I had it RIGHT here five minutes ago!" "I can't announce that until we get a stoppage in play." "What do you mean I have to sing Take Me Out To The Ballgame?"

Ooh! I had a good week. Thanks for doing this!

I'm in Panorama Estates. Small world!

Sun Belt Billy 2.0!

The video was shot in San Francisco's Presidio, including the military cemetery where my in-laws are buried, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Love this song so much. #AT40

Got decent airplay on KFRC as well. I really thought it was early "America." Wrong country.

Thanksgiving 1978 from my family to all my #AT40 family! Keep reaching for the ... second helpings!

Now I can go to bed. Sorry to those who have to pay attention the rest of the game (and season). Those of us who were UF students during 0-10-1 feel your pain.

The only reason to keep watching is to see if the Gators keep their scoring streak alive. It's not looking likely.

When I grow up, I want to be a Pip! #AT40

A song that gets more poignant as I grow old and gray. When you're 15, you don't even consider the fact that you and the people you know won't live forever. It's almost like Ringo was singing about John and George. #AT40

Apparently they fly to their next gig on those shirt collars. #AT40

Oh, the sleeveless sweater vests with the round necks! Absolutely screams 1973. #AT40

The RV park in Palmetto, Fla., where we spend winters is right off Highway 41. Lord, I was born a ramblin' man. #AT40

As was my mother in law! Small world. We've gone back to Grand Rapids. Gwen's mother lived close enough to the Gumps where they played together before Judy moved to California.

1973? I celebrated my 15th birthday by washing the dog. Schlitz (schnauzers need a good German name) wouldn't let anyone else pick him up, let alone scrub-a-dub-dub. I see I'm getting into my rebellious hair stage! #AT40

And North Gwinnett and Brookwood are about 10 miles apart. So Brookwood and Lowndes could have played near the Buc-ee's outside of Warner Robins and saved themselves the trouble. GHSAA is one stupid group.

Crocker Bank! My first checking account was with them. And yeah, the Bay Area was a very screwed up place in the 1970s. #AT40

Does it feel like the first time? Are you a long, long way from home? This sounds urgent.

And Skeeter's was one of a kind. You could go in there at 3:30 a.m. and somebody would be playing live music. The servings were HUGE. I think Dock Luckie set the record for eating 5 or 6 Big Biscuits at one time. I still have a T-shirt somewhere.

I know the one in Alachua has been there forever. I called my roommate from there when my car broke down one night on I-75.

The original was on Waldo Road near NE 8th. The one my buddies and I haunted was on SW 13th across from the Quality Inn. That's been abandoned for quite some time. I'd stop at the one in Ocala on the way home from WMOP after my weekend shifts for garlic bread to go! 40 CENTS!

Yeah, something like that. That big shopping center at Archer and 34th was just being built when I graduated. That included the newest Sonny's in town. In fact, Oaks Mall was finished just when I started there. The center where Skeeter's was the only "big" mall back then. Geez, I'm dating myself.

"You Never Done It Like That" was my favorite Captain and Tennille song. #AT40

Until this Barry Manilow song. #AT40

And clips the F-word for G-rated audiences.
