The (Other) End of the Internet

I was looking at CNN’s website this morning and when saw the headline listed above I had to check twice to make sure I read it right.
To sum up the story, located here, 33 year old Tremayne Durham of New York City ordered an $18,000 ice cream truck from an Oregon company and, when […]

It doesn’t seem possible to me that it’s been a week since my last post went up! I could make some smart remark about how time’s fun when you’re having flies (or something like that), but the truth is that I’ve just been busy doing other things.
A large part of what I’ve been doing is […]

Last night ABC News showed a clip in which a Congressional panel was …erm… discussing … the oil price situation with the CEOs of the five largest oil companies. I can’t quote verbatim what was said and I don’t remember, at this point, who was on the congressional panel, other than that woman whose […]

When I’m trying to eat dinner, I don’t want to hear about some poor woman who […]

Six days after the tornado blew through town, the Red Cross workers are still set up at the local Church Of Christ helping people who’ve lost their homes, or lost their jobs, or otherwise had their lives disrupted.
They’re even processing paperwork to help me replace a pair of eyeglasses that was blown off of my […]

As I was on the way home last night, a tornado was moving through town. I got just a little bit closer to it than I should have. The van I was driving spun 180 degrees so that it was facing the oncoming traffic and then it jumped up into the air and started spinning. […]

That’s it! I’m sick to death of listening to one politician or another bicker with every other politician. The latest head game is the big debate about whether or not Hillary was “snubbed” when Barack Obama turned his head as she shook hands with Ted Kennedy.
