I read in the Republican today as I gazed out the cafe window. Sunny and bright, and people are full of cheer. I am too, since Brazil’s president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva gave the green light to a new plan: Cheap Birth Control for all. “The plan would give […]
Today was a glorious Saturday, and I made the rounds, using the GPS system to navigate to each tag sale. Then we made our way up to busy Greenfield. We shopped at Wilsons. And as usual, it was a pleasant experience. I wanted to find a belt. Had tried to […]
Today we woke to chilly but sunny skies at Green Lane. I read some of the news alerts about airport parking. One item caught my eye, and it made me wonder who is more important. Airport customers or airport vendors? A blogger named Don Singleton wrote about a new policy […]
Big box savings? HA! I have a good story to tell anyone who thinks that they’ll always save more money if they shop at the big boxes. The Wal-Marts, the Targets, the big ole stores like Home Depot that so often get our business. I was shopping for a deck […]
Nathan Cosme has decided he loves that song, ‘Happy Birthday to You.’ So on Sunday he asked us all to sing it one more time. Mom Kate on the right and her best friend Jane on the left joined in.
You have probably heard of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Well in July, a Swiss organization will announce the results of the election to determine the New 7 Wonders of the world. I found out about this on ETurbo News, which reported on the Egyption government’s refusal to […]
This beautiful little espresso maker is for sale. To a good home. We used this Bezzera for one year til we upgraded to a two-headed Mazza machine. So stop by and see what you can buy to make espresso at home.

In the bright LA sunshine I bought a copy of the Los Angeles Times and read a story about hybrid tug boats. This is an initiative not many are aware of; along with vehicle tailpipe emissions, the EPA is after trains, ships and planes to also reduce their emissions. In […]
Last night we went up to Greenfield to the People’s Pint. It was four of us, four old guys in a good mood ’cause it was Friday night. The joint didn’t disappoint–full of happy beer drinkers and a spirit in the air. Maybe it was because it was Friday and […]
The NY Post is famously anti-democrat. But today even I was surprised to read on Horse’s Mouth, by Greg Sargent, that the editors there actually rewrote an AP story to smear Dems. The wire service story had this headline and lead: Democrats Challenge Bush on Iraq Bill A historic veto […]
America held back a collective sniffle tonight, as the most popular show on TV went into charity mode, and showed scenes of desperation in Africa and poor folks in Louisiana. It shows the way that fundraising has so radically changed. It’s just much easier…the web, the easy enabling of credit […]
