Self-Proclaimed ‘Psychic’ Charged with Investor Fraud
Thursday, March 4th, 2010I guess you could say he didn’t see it coming….
Shoe Lacing Methods
Saturday, February 13th, 2010I am constantly amazed at what diverse interests exist on the internet…
Weatherbase
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010A am planning some spring trips and wondered what the temperature averages are for select destinations. I am a weather.com junkie but beyond “next month” the information I needed isnt’ there – or at least I cannot find it. Turning to Google I found Weatherbase which lets me find the normal mix of data (average, [...]
Beagles
Sunday, January 31st, 2010Are apparently the new pit bull of NYC’s east end. I’ve seen a Beagle considerably more vicious than any dog I’ve ever seen. But she was probably just covering her embarrassment of having been bred to a Pug….

That was late winter in 1992 and she was [...]
Bye-Bye Scout
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010A woman was up visiting friends in our town and happened to see the ad in the paper for Scout while there. It was spur of the moment but since they were already right here they called at almost 10PM. Naturally my being eager to find the fellow a home I agreed to the late [...]
Sex Sells
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Or so goes the saying in Hollywood when they’re trying to justify their latest tricks. But a recent study shows that sex really doesn’t help box office receipts. What I find even more interesting is how do teens rebel against parents of the “sex, drugs, rock’n’roll” generation? By abstaining, staying married and saying no to [...]
