It was my nice, kindly gentleman uncle, on my father’s side of the family, who first introduced me to Luby’s cafeteria on one of my first trips to the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. “Sorry sir. Thanks for lunch … but Luby’s just isn’t Furr’s,” (I thought to myself). Ha … that was more than […]

Wi-Fi, Dirty Gig & Unorthodox View of Shreveport
March 30th, 2015 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
Amazing, the way people drive between Fort Worth, Texas and Shreveport, La. I suppose if you are going to drive that far to lose money in a smoky casino, you better get there ASAP, right?:) As for me, I kept it pretty much within the legal limits, as I headed out to make […]
Kickin It Down The Cobblestones — Medicine Park Wi-Fi
February 27th, 2015 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
When I reviewed the 2014 Triumph Thunderbird a few months back on the ride from Fort Worth to Columbia, Mo., one of my criticism was about the bike’s stealth. It hardly makes any noise, and anyone can tell you “loud pipes save lives” for motorcyclists. But the silence has grown on me. It’s […]
Heap Big Wi-Fi Among Chickasaw In Sulphur, Okla.
February 17th, 2015 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Coffee Shops · Hotels · Wi-Fi
Remember the scenes in old westerns in which the “Indians” refused to be photographed because they believed the camera might steal their souls? Well, me and my Nikon don’t subscribe to that theory … and yet …
More Michigan Wi-Fi Meandering, Motown To MoMo
September 8th, 2014 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Sports · Wi-Fi
Driving in and around Warren, Michigan, Bloomfield Hills, Beverly Hills, Oak Grove, Royal Oak … marveling at how lush and green the grass is in this place. Driving by the golf courses, i am thinking it is a wonder golf wasn’t invented here. Immaculate. Plenty of forestation in this glove-shaped, land swatch between several Great […]
Dunn Brothers From Anutha Mutha Could Be Wi-Fi Funn

I found another coffee shop in Columbia by chance, just because it is near my grocery store. Ha … when on the road for one of these long projects, the grocery store is an important place. In the small cities, when I am tired from The Dirty Gig, or maybe a long ride, […]
Boba Mizzou … A Tale Of Nipple Pings
May 10th, 2014 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
I do like a college town, but the time had come to take a break from preppies and hipsters, so I ambled over to foreign-studentville. Bubblecup boba tea caught my eye about a week ago, and despite it being next door to a local ice cream legend, I did it anyway. BubbleCup? Or […]
No Wi-Fi? That’s The Würst … Der Ping Blitzes More Columbia Hotpsots

No, PingWi-Fi. You can’t judge a coffee bar by its dreadlocked buskers. I totally expected to be overcome by the telltale, pungent odor of patchouli … eau de hippie … when I checked out Columbia’s homegrown Lakota Coffee Company. Not so. There is an earthy vibe … yes … real timber chairs, an American […]
Mizzou Coffee & Wi-Fi … It’s Not All About Starbucks
May 3rd, 2014 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
Today, let’s get old school here in the college town of Columbia, Mo. None of that blogging about nothing. No rock or film reviews. No interviews of FOX or CBS correspondents (dig into ping, they’re there). Today, we ping Wi-Fi hotspots — as we did when this blog began — here in the […]
Sharing Love With Austin – SquareRüt, Beyond SouthBy
March 18th, 2014 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
A good friend of mine just posted a story from The Austin-American Statesman that questions whether or not Austin “drinks too much.” Ha … Define too much. What was it Jimmy Kimmel said, he was in town not for The SXSW Festival, but an intervention. Something like that. Anywho … Then there is the […]
