My daily commute from north Shelby county to Birmingham takes me along Alabama's busiest corridor, US hwy 280. Here are things I've seen.

This tag brought back some good memories
I spotted this amateur radio tag the other morning and it sure brought back lots of memories. Years ago when I was married my father in law was studying to get his ham radio license. Back in those days you had to know morse code to get the license. He had this homemade thing to practice on which looked like a block of wood with a code key and speaker attached. He was a college professor and every week when we drove back and forth to school together he was practicing the whole time. It took him a long time but he finally got good enough to pass the test and get his license. His call signs were KA4BSQ. I sure do miss him. He was always so kind to me.
