I was suprised to see it because I just never thought I would see one around here and I was under the impression that they wouldn't be coming out in the US until next year....

Optimists reported that the housing market would right itself soon and the economy would get back to normal. Let me be the first to say that I have a habit of simplifyng things down to over-simplistic. I like things simple. I...

We were talking about housing because we are going to be moving in the next couple of years. We were talking about gas because we had to fill up for the trip.

I could ask people to lead good lives and I could make a lot of money doing it. I mean, A LOT of money. Religion is big business and gets good tax breaks for being in a special branch of business. I have decided against...

It's great to see how far they have come in their training. I ended up running through everything with them which was fun for me. It was a lot of work and we were all tired when it was done but it's worth it. I had...

It's a pretty good tool for self defense but it seemed that since it was taught as such a low level of force, it was okay to use it just about anytime you wanted. The same now...

It's been a hobby of mine for a long, long time. I got more serious about it when I was a cop because I equated success as a matter of life or death.
