I have always thought it would be extremely educational to pick a handicap and live with it for a day or two. We could have a national awareness day where everyone picks a handicap and tries to function with the disability as they go about their daily routines. I’m confident that society would have a [...]
In a recent study, researchers demonstrate that if you nap just 10 minutes per day, you will feel better and improve your ability to learn and remember.

There is nothing like Michigan Ice Fishing and the best spot in Michigan to ice fish is in Muskegon. Record fish are caught here every winter and as you can see from these pictures, it’s a city on ice! The picture below was taken on 2/23/08 just before noon. This motivated ice fisherman moved the [...]
Had this picture of the American Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) on my memory card and am just now getting around to posting it.

Received this message today – unsolicited email about the sale of AdBlocker.com. For only 250 grand (how they do the tax free thing I don’t know) the domain could be mine.

Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument; and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: Today my best friend slapped me in the face. They kept on walking, [...]
