High Vantage Point

I’m pretty sure that Starbucks doesn’t think too highly of people like us. Oh, well, I’m not too concerned how the feel – ever since Schultzie orphaned our beloved Sonics and left them to be adopted by some Oklahoma swindler.

I pushed the snooze button for a half hour this morning. Normally, I push it once and get up. I don’t know what my problem was today. I got to bed at a good hour last night. I just couldn’t pull my lazy bum out of bed. That’s bad news for me. It’s so easy [...]

I’m not sure what I enjoyed more – the Movie I was watching, or the commercials.

When the temperature around our home reached single digits, we had to make it a point to give Kaiyah, our Siberian Husky fresh water several times each day. With temperatures that low, her water freezes very quickly.

I ran across a funny little display of some of the idiosyncrasies of the English language. I immediately thought of Uncle Stan. I know Stan will enjoy this and I’m sure there are others. Read on…. Let’s face it – English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; [...]

Since cousin Sterling provided a review of the iPhone, recently, I decided to give you a review of another new product. Turn on your speakers, click on the little arrow in the middle of the picture, sit back, and enjoy.
