I have not eaten from the following “restaurants” in 2010:
* Burger King
* McDonalds
* Arbys
* Wendys
* Popeyes
* KFC

When they arrived they spoke a different language than the native New Yorkers, dressed differently and had different customs and mannerisms.
If they were formally asked to prove that they were American citizens, they probably had no papers to show for it [...]

Saturday was another day of worshiping the mighty power of hydraulics – both good and evil.
The evil was the hydraulic force of the water seeping downhill and pushing the concrete pylons of the deck up over a foot in places.  The good was the incredible power of the front loader on my little tractor (JD2320) [...]

I’ve been playing outside, getting ready for Summer in the yard.
Nothing to report – not even a gripe!

Dear entertainment industry,
I just spent thousands of dollars and hours of heartache and pain to remove glasses from my everyday life.  Now I can pick and choose the sunglasses I desire.  I can also lose and break them whenever the mood strikes me (monthly when it’s nice out). This is a decision that took me [...]
