Flat tire light

Product review: Update 2007 Camry Amazing, feature works as advertised. The flat tire indicator is one of the car’s standard features that, frankly, I thought I would never use, or at least experience. Now I can tell you these little gizmos really work. Normally, one would rely on the old tried and... Sign in to see full entry.

Movie Review

Running With Scissors. A dysfunctional family? That’s not the half of it in this apparently semi-auto biographical movie. I can’t say too much without giving a lot away but if only half the things in this one are true, it would still be more than most of us could bear to experience. If you are...

Movie review Little Miss Sunshine

I must have been the only person on Earth who had no idea what this movie was about. It starts out with a bunch of screwed up people that turn out to be in the same family. The only “sane” one is the little girl who is enamored with winning beauty pageants. The movie unfolds with some predictable... Sign in to see full entry.

The news and I

Ernest Gallo dies, but not before his time. Only the finest grapes went into MD 20/20. A Sheboygan man tried to hide drug paraphernalia in his underwear but, in a testament to the effects of dugs on brain function, forgot to zip up and was caught with a pipe and a small amount of marijuana. It seems... Sign in to see full entry.

If I ran things

Pick your nose in public, get shot! My kids started this game in their later years, only they called it, “If I had my own communist country.” What they really meant was a dictatorship so they could call all the shots. One of their favorites is requiring a license to have children. My goals would be... Sign in to see full entry.

Movie Review – Thank you for smoking

It’s really not about smoking at all. The long standing debate over the safety of tobacco products serves as a vehicle that allows this satire to explore many facets of modern life. Why people work at the jobs they do? How do companies that profit from dangerous products stay in business? How can... Sign in to see full entry.

Food 4 Thought Control Central

This is where it all happens. The words you see here originated on this very spot. Not quite like visiting the birthplace of Shakespeare, but then I ain’t the Bard of Avon. Avon did call once, but I tried to convert them to Jehovah’s Witnesses and they left faster than you can say Jack Robinson. I... Sign in to see full entry.

America’s secret addiction

Ask any of your friends, family or acquaintances to do without it and they will be at a loss. It is impossible, I cannot do it and you cannot do it. It has been said that America has a love affair with them, but it is much deeper and darker than that. Take away our automobiles and the thing we call... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you a technophobe? Windows Vista seems to send shudders down peoples backs, much like the first operating system I used on my first computer, DOS 4.1.etc. But you know, I learned how to make the darn thing do what I wanted and discovered that I could run the dosshell just fine, in fact it looked...

What are the things that are important?

Family and friends are tops on the list. This is my first post on a new computer with a new wireless DSL connection. The computer is the latest stuff, very cool. Why is it cooler than say, a Dell? Because, my son built it from scratch. It has things like a giganto-huge heat sink on the processor... Sign in to see full entry.
