Can Cough
We all have our morning routines as we drag our sorry behinds out of bed to face another day of punchin' the clock. For me it involves a quick scrub, some business casual, a cup of joe, and a 45 minute pain free commute. Once I arrive at work I normally rush to put my things down before the coffee from earlier reminds me of a much needed release. As I approach the nearest bathroom I'll evaluate the high/low of the situation, and usually concede that I was no match for the dinner the night before. In this particular bathroom I ...
Home Depot Duck Sounds
This weekend I finally decided to attend a tile installation class at my local Home Depot here in Vacaville, CA. The instructor was a "good 'ole boy" from Kentucky, and let us eager learners know that it would last the better part of two hours. So of course there I was eagerly filling page after page with notes to cover all aspects of laying tile. At times he would ramble on and on about how money driven Californians are (of course true), and how he missed slappin' hogs on the farm (as if we gave a crap). A good guy, ...
Wal-Mart: Our Nations Cancer
Walmartwatch.com has done a tremendous job in clearly displaying how Wal-Mart has continued to reign as Americas number one growing cancer. Their primary focus is to: "bridge the gap between ordinary citizens and community organizations concerned about Wal-Mart's unchecked growth and negative impact on our society. We challenge Wal-Mart to embrace its moral responsibility as the nation's biggest and most important corporation." What's more is that they expose unethical marketing practices that focus on lower income shoppers spending clearly beyond their means on items that they initially believed were beyond their financial limits. Meanwhile these same shoppers may skimp on necessities, and ...
Sophie Marie!
Having a Jack Russell is like having a part time job...period. Personally, my wife and I are lucky that little Sophie gets continual attention as someone is always home throughout the day. That way she is not starving for our attention, and her anxiety (crazyness) is somewhat kept in check. When we first got her, we bought different books and gathered all the reference material we could find, but still our little rat finds unique ways to out smart us. This includes the time when she ate a couple of pieces of Orbitz gum that was in a zipped travel bag ...
Hoveround Takeover
I completely understand the fact that people often need some form of mobile transportation in their golden years, but the Hoveround craze is really starting to tick me off. My wife and I were at the store today and we saw 2 different granny's with their little pimp rides, and truly..they were so very lovely. The first one beeped every time it moved....EVERY time. God forbid she gets up to say...2 mph and there's no hope for escape. I just wanted to kick it on it's side to silence the insanity. The second lady had her little frosted perm and ...

In a blind survey, one out of every single Prius drivers is an asshole. Ok probably not, but it sure seems that here in the Nor Cal Bay area, they certainly drive much differently that in many other parts of the country. I’ve scowered through article after article of people complaining about these routinely slow drivers ruining their commutes because of their inability to ever challenge the speed... [Read more]

Remember growing up with the kids magazine Highlights? Well having recently moved into a new house, we still get a lot of mail addressed to the former residents, and Highlights magazine is often included. My wife decided to flip through the recent issue and found a rather amusing yet oddly coincidental image. In viewing it you can see that there just happens to be a matching clock set to 4:20...

Everyone’s mind no doubt is as unique to that person as a fingerprint. Sometimes however, even though we haven’t completely lost it yet, we often feel as though parts of our minds are on permanent vacation. Even today at lunch, I though about posting on the study of short term memory, but hours later I couldn’t remember this very topic. And I know we’ve all had these moments. ... [Read more]
