Couple of weeks ago we went out to Woodlands to see the dog races. If you’d never been there before, it’s actually fun and inexpensive way to enjoy a day off. My daughter actually won about 7 or 8 dollars - enough to make her happy. You don’t have to know anything about betting or [...]

As I mentioned before, I am not a fan of Barack Obama. Unfortunately for the voter counts I am not a fan of McCain either. Even if he was the best and the brightest candidate, his age and physical condition would be his major flaws. The problem is that he is not the best [...]

With local highways in permanent state of repair I am reminded of my long time pet peeve - late mergers. These are the smart asses who ride the closed lane all the way to the merge point and then try to force themselves between the drivers who actually obeyed the signs.

The winner is awarded with 1186 miles [...]

I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don’t know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind [...]

I am pretty sure I don’t have it. Maybe I can run for a “little smokies” king or something, but kielbasa is way out of my league (I love sexual double entendres though). Just in case you think you have it, you may be interested in attending Sugar Creek Slavic Festival this weekend. I, of [...]

Many of you don’t know that I am a romantic at heart. The problem is that my heart is buried under thick layers of fat and who-knows-what-else so it’s hard to tell. You just have to trust me on that. The other day while driving to work I noticed that some schmuck put up a [...]
