Econo Car

It has only 6 cylinders. It gets 19mpg in the city. It gets 30mpg on the highway. Are you kidding me? That is better than a 2007-2010 Toyota Camry! […]

This just in – the rumors are true

It has been confirmed. Several days ago while on spring break a Lionel Richie fish was caught off the coast of Alabama looks none too happy, Katie ecstatic. Publicist for the Commodores claims band has put reunion plans on hold

Cha Cha Changes

As mentioned earlier, Blogger gave me the boot. Now, I am a WordPress man. This new sleeker, cooler, more exciting than ever interface is going to make my posts smarter, funnier and 50% more impressive. Speaking of impressive, all of our previous banter and words of wisdom has been preserved and still lives in the […]

Give the kids a jump rope

 

There was an interesting story today in the paper.  Apparently, kids in Massachusetts, in PE class jump rope without any rope.  Why you ask?  Is the school system in Mass. so poor that they can’t afford ropes?  No, it is because . . . . they don’t want them to feel bad if they […]

Google is giving me the boot

 

This blog is written and managed with a tool called Blogger.com, it is owned by Google.  They encourage you to blog using their space, servers, domain and their tool to manage it.  I have bucked the trend by using my own (rented) server, space, domain and their tool to manage posts.

Engadget.com is a site that talks about electronics with a heavy emphasis on computers and phones but if you plug it in or it can run on batteries I wouldn’t  be surprised to see it on their site.

They talk about upcoming products and roomers, they have some hands on reviews but they are […]

What euphemism did you fill in at the end of the above headline? How about this one. “It was so cold this morning, after my dog went out for a whizz, I had to chop him off a tree trunk.” I guess you get the point, it has been cold here. Our poor […]

The Blue Beast

 

Today we added about 6000lbs to our family.  No, we did not all spend the day at Golden Coral.  Linda finally got a new SUV.  She has been driving a 1998 Ford Expedition for quite a while, it has been a trusty steed taking us all over the US in reliable comfort (except for […]

Merry Christmas

 

Often said, often meant.  This time, truly meant.  For some reason, this  Christmas is a little extra joyful.  I don’t know why and I am not going to question it.  We have everything we need and almost everything we want (I believe that “almost” is one of the keys to being happy).  Our kids […]

Yes Virginia, it does snow in Houston

 

Our poor weathermen had to go the whole hurricane season without one real threat.  That must be as painful as a gossip magazine going a whole month without a dying celebrity.  Global warming failed to produce even an average storm season this year.

BUT!  Finally! The spotlight deprived atmospheric prognosticators got to take […]
