Focus?

An internal debate I'm mulling over: You might know, I'm an avid Cleveland Indians fan. Do I fly to San Francisco for two games against the Giants or do I drive to Seattle for a three game series agains the Mariners? Both parks have great scenery and great food.   … these are the things…MORE

Shake, Rattle And Roll

If any of you are worried about those little earthquakes we've been having lately, I'll give you a few statistics that might relax you a bit. Not a single one of the recent earthquakes has registered more than about 4.5 on the Richter scale.  The biggest earthquake ever registered in Idaho was 6.9, back in…MORE

Greenbelt

Last week, I decided to go for a walk on the Greenbelt. When I go on walks like this I like to bring my camera. It's springtime so I was hoping to see a lot of wildlife and I wasn't disappointed. I saw some amazing ducks. Some were just the normal ones you see everyday…MORE

Inventions Eh?

Did you know peanut butter was invented in Canada by a Canadian?  A lot of people think George Washington Carver invented peanut butter.  He didn't.  He came up with hundreds of practical uses for the peanut, but peanut butter wasn't one of his. I mention peanut butter because someone actually said to me the other…MORE

Happy Woofday!

Not everyone knows the birthday of their dog.  I've only had three dogs in my life, and I didn't know the birthdays of the first two.  But I do know the birthday of my current dog.  His name is Fred, and he was born October 31, 2006. That makes Fred a Scorpio.  I don't personally…MORE

Words Still Have Meaning

The Oxford English Dictionary still exists.  And you can still purchase it in book form.  But just like everybody else, they're also online.  And their website is a lot of fun if you like reading about the history of words. I mention the Oxford English Dictionary because it's the de facto authority when it comes…MORE

Fishing!

I'm a big fishing fan. I got my fishing license in February and have gone fishing at least 3 or 4 times since; mainly on the weekends. Our secret spot is full of fish and super fun. The first time I went there I caught one fish and was pretty disappointed, but the second time…MORE

Missing!

Enough about the missing plane! No one KNOWS what happened. No one KNOWS where it is. A plane took off, then it disappeared. They're looking. It's a big world. Be patient, tune out anyone who wasn’t there or who didn't see what happened. MORE

Big News

Some very interesting developments in major world stories lately. Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't seem to care about the sanctions imposed on Russian individuals over the invasion of Crimea. The search area for missing Malaysia Flight 370 is now the size of Texas. And G-M says it's sorry for the ignition problems that are linked…MORE
