In what is quite likely the most
random and nutty thing to ever happen to me on a Tuesday morning,
Michael Berry (the "Czar of Talk Radio") spent 3 minutes talking
about me and this website.
For those that don't know,
Michael Berry is a syndicated radio talk show host here in Houston.
He's on the radio 5 hours a day and I usually listened 3-4 of those
hours. If I'm at my desk, I'll listen to all 3 hours of the morning
show and then share an hour of the afternoon show with my wife and
son on the drive home. His brand of humor and politics is right in
line with my way of thinking. I'm either yelling along with him as
he covers politics, laughing my butt off at his jokes, or reminiscing as
he talks about growing up in southeast Texas in the 70's and 80's. I
love the show and have a tremendous amount of respect for this guy.
Can't stress that enough. He's a good guy!
So… this
morning I got back from a meeting and saw that Michael Berry tweeted
that “anyone not listening to the show is a booger eater.” So, I
responded “Damnit... I was stuck
in a meeting. I'll catch up with the podcast, lest I be known as a
'booger eater.'" I don’t normally respond to tweets like that. Not
real sure why I did that time. Just bored I guess.
Well, I went
about my morning and didn’t think any more of it. I was listening to
the show at my desk like I usually do when I heard this (click the
logo):
I about had a
damned heart attack! For what it's worth, he’s right… I can BBQ.
Pretty dang good at it, too.
A few minutes
later I got this tweet:

Checked out your website.
Delighted to know folks still care about railroads. This bump's for
ya, bud.
This was truly an honor. Thank
you, Michael.
