As he is trucking across and discovering the US, Big Al Owens frequently shares foods he enjoys. He writes, "The Chicken King restaurant is Greek owned for 26 years and is located in Charlotte, NC. I've been stopping there for some 23 years. The Gyros sandwich is authentic and made by strict Greek standards. Total cost was about $12, but I was very pleased with my lunch." Comments | Permalink

Great Strife - A Poem About Natural GasComments | Permalink
By Noah Flowers, Lindsey Wilson College student
In the vast fields of shale,
Beneath the earth, a hidden tale,
Lies a resource of power and heat,
Natural gas, with promises sweet.
In recent news, it has been said,
That natural gas has been widely spread,
Its production, a booming industry,
With energy needs, it offers a remedy.
But with its extraction, comes great strife,
Environmental concerns, a struggle for life,
Fracking, the process that's often used,
Leaves the earth and water, permanently abused.
The greenhouse gas emissions, a cause for alarm,
Contributing to climate change and its harmful charm,
Yet, natural gas is often touted as clean,
An energy source that's somewhere in between.
A balancing act, we must achieve,
Between energy needs and the earth we leave,
Innovation and technology, a way to progress,
Towards a cleaner future, where we can rest.
Natural gas, a resource we can't ignore,
But with it, responsibility we must restore,
To protect our planet, our home and our land,
With a sustainable approach, hand in hand.
