This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I have a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.
I find it funny that with every year that I age, I worry a little less about my outward appearance. If you think about it, you will probably see that you are very much the same. I suppose the reason for this is that with each passing year, we become more set in our ways [...]
Between the people that I have met online and those that I have met in person, a small percentage of them have asked why I ignore then on Facebook. After giving the same explanation time and time again, I thought it would be worth explaining it one last time, here on my personal blog. There [...]
A few days ago, a friend of mine forwarded me an email featuring a mutual friend of ours. This email contained a video on a Swedish website which allows anyone to create a parody from a photo. My guess is that the video uses some green screen techniques to embed a photo within a stock [...]
Imagine, if you will, spending a week just feeling miserable. You came down with a nasty cold that started off as a mere tickle in your throat and blossomed to the equivalent of a brick wall in your sinuses. After several days of extra rest you begin to feel better and see the cold you’ve [...]
On Saturday February 7, 2010, Reading PA was hit with a snow storm. In all I believe there was an accumulation of about a foot of snow. Just a mere four days later, the Reading area saw a second snow storm. This one dumping more than a foot and a half in some areas. The [...]
Before I get down into the meat and potatoes of this post, I need come right out and tell you that I hate shopping. Hating shopping may seem a little extreme and requires some clarification, I hate shopping at big box stores like Walmart and Best Buy. Visiting local mom and pop stores is far [...]
In a previous post, I gave you little insight to the childish fun I have at my wife’s expense. That post was actually supposed to go in another direction, but since I was happy with the way it read, I left it as written. The purpose of this post is to tell you the story [...]
On a cold January morning, I stepped out my front door and made my way down to my car. As usual, I attached the face plate on my stereo and started the vehicle. I gave the car a couple of minutes to warm up while I read a newly received email on my Blackberry. In [...]
If you are a follower of mine on Twitter or a friend on Facebook, it would be of no surprise to learn that I like to have childish fun around my wife. At times it can be at her expense, but for the most part it makes her laugh. Admittedly, one of the main reasons [...]
Shortly after creating the Walt In PA blog, I wrote a piece on some plumbing trouble that I was struggling through. Since that post I have been lucky in that that I have only had to get involved in two other plumbing projects. Both projects, however, revolved around the same basic problem with my kitchen [...]
Have you ever had one of those days were you felt like something inside of you was just going to snap under stress? As I type this, I’m sitting in a room, alone, listening to soothing music on Slacker Radio. To go along with the music, I’ve got a CAO La Traviata burning in the [...]
I’ve got to admit up front, when it comes to certain things, I am a gullible guy. This really shines when taking into account Twitter and Facebook. There is part of me that says, “That really is the cigar manufacturer I know, not some paid employee acting the part” The more time I spend on [...]
A year or two ago, I was talking to my wife about needing a new coat. The one I was wearing at the time was a little too light for extended periods of time out in the cold. In most cases I was only going from the house to the car, then from the car [...]
A couple of weeks ago, Jerry posted an Ask The Readers topic on Stogie Review which revolved around Cigar Geekiness. Jerry went on to explain that two of his preferred online games have characters that are named after the hobby of cigars. Jerry From Stogie Review Says… In City of Heroes I’m known as The [...]
On Thanksgiving night, I made a post on Twitter that announced my wife and I were expecting a child. I did this in an indirect way which many people did not pick up on. It felt kind of weird announcing it to the Twitter world so soon, so I wanted to do it in such [...]
