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.

Well that is just what this is. In just a few short hours I’ll be making the drive out to a kennel [...]
photo credit: David Hilowitz For the past fifteen-minutes I have been racking my brain trying to come up with a blog post for today. I’m finding it difficult for a couple of reason, one of which has been my sleep pattern. Ever since the clock change last weekend, I’ve felt run-down and exhausted. Have you [...]

The Cigar of the Week, for this week, is the Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 in a Petit Corona format. This cigar is one that I have been smoking off and on for a couple of years now. It has always provided a full bodied, full flavored smoke that packs a punch. For an in-depth [...]
While in Gettysburg on Saturday, I snapped several photos during the speech. I learned just how difficult it is to take photos during an event while trying not to distract the speaker with my flash and slow lens. After a little editing I came out with twenty-four photos that I was happy with. Do you [...]
During the week, last week, I spoke with a fiend of mine about heading down to Gettysburg for re-enactors appreciation weekend. Being a bit of a history buff, he has headed out for the last three years to check it out. I went along for the ride last year and had a good time, so [...]

photo credit: Zevotron I wanted to give everyone a little followup after I made mention that my wife and I wanted to adopt a puppy. In order to gain a little more information in regards to the adoption process itself, I fired off an email to my local Humane Society. After a few days of [...]
Last week I wrote a post telling you a story about hearing a piece of music that brought back some memories. I went on to tell you about the movie that this music was in, Labyrinth. Shortly after that post I headed over to Amazon and placed an order for a few of the movies [...]
photo credit: kellygifford Over the past few months my wife and I have talked about possibly adding a puppy to our family. Our talks never developed into much, we had the intention but never set the wheels in motion. Last week my wife and I went to visit a friend of mine in Spring City. [...]
A couple of years ago I was working as a cabinetmaker in a small shop. There were about six employees in all and we were very close with the owners. The husband worked side by side with us in the shop while the wife ran the office. At some point during the summer our boss [...]
On Sunday afternoon I was checking the weather when I saw that the Reading area of PA was forecast to receive between four and six inches of snow. I was looking forward to the snow because it was going to mean that I’d be working from home, which entails a bath robe, coffee, and a [...]
photo credit: cogito ergo imago After exceeding my goal for January, I was a little worried about increasing the numbers for a shorter month. It seems that I must be doing something right as we exceeded my expectations once again. My comment goal looked like it wasn’t going to be met until I made mentioned [...]

Just before setting aside time to write this article I was editing the video for the Oliva Connecticut Reserve review on Stogie Review. In between tasks I imported my classic rock folder into Winamp and hit shuffle. The usual stuff began playing, then something came on that I haven’t heard in years. All of a [...]
