Waterfall off Asks Rosd

Photos of waterfall off Aska road near Blue Ridge, Ga.  To see this waterfall take Aska road until you reach Toccoa Riverside Restaurant, take rosd directly across from it and stay on road to Benton/ Macaye trail access. Take trail on right side of road to the waterfall. Hike is fairly easy with a little steepness. You can also access the trail from Hwy 515 by taking road that goes in front of Rock Creek Baptist Church which is located south of Blue Ridge, Ga.

How Much Should I Tip My Server at Cracker Barrel Part 1

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, that wonderful place to eat where you get good country cooking at a decent price. While Cracker Barrel may not be fine dining, you still get the experience of being served at a full service restaurant, which customarily is followed by a gratuity by the guest. With Cracker Barrel having lower prices on their menu items that most sit-down full service restaurants some might wonder what is an appropriate tip to leave the server. Being a server at Cracker Barrel myself I might be biased on what I think an appropriate tip may be so I will not give a dollar amount but just give a little insight on various factor that affect server pay at Cracker Barrel. The first factor is menu prices.

If you tip based on the amount of the check then here are some things to consider. Cracker Barrel already has low prices but in addition to that they allow kids of all ages to order off the kids menus with meals that come wit a free drink for kids dinners (drinks not included with breakfast). This can drastically lower a check, so if you tip percentage, then you might leave two dollars on a ten dollar check for a few kids meals. That sounds fair and just and I reckon it is but realize this, that server had to take just as many steps as if you had ordered a rib-eye steak, had to refill your drink maybe worked just  as hard serving your kids meal as if you had ordered a big meal. People save money by ordering kids meals, if a server gives good service why not compensate them by forgetting about percentages and giving a decent tip if a person can afford it.

Servers work hard at Cracker Barrel Old Country to serve good food at affordable prices, consider rewarding them based on quality of service and not just on ticket prices.  I hope to post more later on on other factors to consider when tipping your servers at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. My hope is to educate people on things to consider when dining out at Cracker Barrel as far as tipping goes. In the course of the day I wait on all kinds of people from various walks of life, who leave all kinds of tips. Tips range from the extremely generous to non-existent known as getting stiffed, I want people to think as they tip and hopefully reward their servers proportional to their level of service.

Dolphin s at Gulf World Panama City Beach Florida

Pictures of one of the dolphin shows at Gulf World in Panama City Beach. Gulf World features two dolphin shows, one with sea lions and dolphins and another with  just dolphins. Gulf World is by no means Sea World but was a nice place to visit and to be able to see some marine creatures up close. The dolphin shows themselves are not half-bad and are somewhat informational as well. I hope to post more pictures from my weekend jaunt to Panama City later on so subscribe or check back. 

IPhone X

Just got the latest iPhone, the iPhone X. Do far I like it, I am trying out the free version of a blogging app. I really like the face recognition feature, it has been handy but I cannot tell a whole lot of difference in the battery life as of yet. 

Waffle House Gravy and Biscuits

Places to Eat in Blue Ridge, Ga Just had a tasty meal tonight, I ate out at Waffle House in Blue Ridge, Ga. There are many eating establishments in Blue Ridge but tonight was a Waffle House night after an awesome Bible Study at my mother-in-laws house. I was late getting there as in I had to go by Walmart first, so I walked in to my three sons already chowing down on some Waffle House grub. I was not sure what I was going to eat but when I seen my oldest son eating some gravy and biscuits, I made up my mind right away. I ordered the gravy and biscuit and two egg meal that included a drink for six bucks, I also added a waffle to my meal. I was really impressed with the taste of the gravy and biscuits, the gravy tasted really good and the biscuit as well. I asked the cook how they prepared the biscuit and he told me that they cut them in half, buttered them and cooked them on the grill. Anyways to make a long blog post short, the meal was excellent, being a waiter at Cracker Barrel Old

Why Shoud I Blog?

Why should you blog? What is the purpose of posting your thoughts on the internet for all interested to see? For me, it started out for me trying to make some extra money from Google Adsense, ads that are generated on your blog site that earn money for the writer. To be brutally honest I have yet to reach the payment threshold which is $100 U.S. dollars, after blogging for several years. Currently, I am at $50.60, halfway there. So perhaps you might consider blogging as a potential source of income, but do not quit your regular job yet. Making money with Adsense depends on many factors such as traffic to your blog, ads that it generates and whether or not your audience clicks on the ads or not. However being diligent in posting fresh, relevant, evergreen, well-written content will increase your potential to make money with your blog.

I see nothing wrong with trying to make some extra income from your blog but aside from making money why else should you blog? To be heard, I believe most people who have something to say want to be heard. I believe the popularity of FaceBook is partly because it gives people a platform where they can share what's on their mind. So then why not just FaceBook? Good question, many share their thought on FaceBook, or/or Twitter, and that is great for most people. But what about a long post such as I am sharing, might seem too long for FaceBook, too many words for Twitter but as a blog post it is just fine. For me, I feel freer writing blog posts than other social media because it goes out to strangers rather than friends and family, things I blog about may not be something I want to share with people I know. I know that sounds strange, call me a weirdo, whatever, that is my hangup. Apart from making money, having a platform to be heard from is another reason to blog.

Another reason to blog is a good one and an unselfish one is to be a help to others. To be able to take your knowledge and share with others via the world wide web is a great privilege we have in our modern day tech-rich society. It is a good thing to take the knowledge and gifts God has given you and share that so that others might benefit from it. As a Christian, I can use my blog to share my faith and tell others about how Jesus died for their sins and how God raised Him on the third day, and how they can have eternal life by placing their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins and the salvation of their soul. Sorry for the run-on sentence but just wanted to take an opportunity to share Jesus and give an example of how a blog can be used to benefit others.

Lastly, blogging is a good therapy, a good way to get things off your chest, out of your mind and into written words. For me, knowing someone might read my words is an incentive for me to write them in a blog along with the potential to make Adsense revenue. I have always enjoyed writing and blogging gives me an outlet for my writing.

Should you blog? Is it for you? Maybe it is, maybe no. Perhaps it could be a way to share all that wisdom and knowledge that is crowding that brain of yours. Maybe it could turn into a stream of extra income, might be able to quit your day job. Or it might just be a good outlet for the writer in you to
publish your thoughts to an unlimited audience.
