Homeless
I have no nice house.
People treat me with contempt.
My heart hurts inside.

0+0=0
Zero plus Zero
Equals zero. If you don’t
Do your part today,
Don’t expect anything friend,
Because of your poor effort.

Poem on Vase 2013 Albert Moyer, Jr
One of my favorite hot sauce places is the Tabasco Sauce Factory in Avery Island, LA. Why would that be? I love hot sauce and I LOVE Tabasco. Upon touring one will learn the secrets of making Tabasco Hot Sauce which takes over three years. You will learn that it is shipped worldwide and bottles are labeled in different languages. In fact, China is one of the largest foreign importers of Tabasco.
There are free samples of jalapeno ice cream and hot pepper soda that you cannot get anywhere else. There is a country store to purchase anything Tabasco, and you’re in the heart of Cajun country. What could not be better than that? Oh! And Jungle Gardens is right next door. http://junglegardens.org/
This is another fun thing to do if you are in the area and love traveling. http://www.tabasco.com/avery-island/visitor-information/
Here are some of my photos that I have taken at the factory.
This is how the sauce is made in recycled Jack Daniel’s Whiskey barrels.
How the Tabasco Peppers are picked by hand mostly in Latin countries these days.
The Tabasco Country Store
And let me tell you folks! Even the fish catch fire when they eat a Tabasco Pepper.
And all around the surrounding area one will see fields of sugar cane.

Having a hobby as a musician, I am often privileged to special parties and events. A few years back, I took several photos at the Lone Star Flight Museum http://www.lsfm.org/index.html in Galveston, Texas while playing for the U.S.S. Texas Submarine Commissioning party for the United States Navy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Texas_%28SSN-775%29
The museum has a great collection of vintage war planes. If you want to do a draw down on your wallet, they also offer plane rides in a few selected aircraft.
So if you’re in Galveston, Texas, make a trip over to the museum, and learn a little about the history of flight.
Here are a few photos from the museum.
