We have all had frustrating experiences concerning our automobiles (I will get to Real Estate). Last week I called our local Big O Tires to get several things looked over. I called Big O because I know the owner and the service had been sterling, I even wrote a raving review last year. My appoint...

When you live in a four seasons climate it means you need to have many yard tools and maybe even a lot of toys as well.Fall doesn't require much for itself except a good rake or two, a leaf blower, and maybe a tiller to plow over the years garden bounty. That being said, knowing that winter could...

The smoke from forest fires in Canada and the Western USA have/had been so bad last week children have not been let outside for recess due to it being a hazard to their health. This is not something I remember as a child and I am wondering why it is happening today.The only explanation I have hea...

The comic above is pretty far fetched but it made me think of the trick commonly seen on comedy shows and movies... painting the face of someone passed out drunk. I figured that there would be an abundance of pictures on the internet of people doing this. I was wrong BUT I did see some cool face ...

Interesting cartoon being the author has never had a cup of coffee in his life. I used to drink two pots a day but now a days I limit myself to six cups and usually stop at four cups.     "You get to smell it and drink it" says one or both of Joe's pet guinea pigs. Ponder that as Michael Jacobs m...
