It's been a while since I've had any sunsets to share, so I decided to show you what we have been seeing around here lately. It looks like it's going to turn off cold here pretty quick, but at least we haven't had any snow yet.

What is this? It reminds me a little of fuchsia but I know, of course, that it is not. It is growing in the backyard around an old HVAC system. After weeks of admiring them, they were wilted and crumpled over. Then a couple of mornings later there seeme …

Did you know that dragonflys eat mosquitos, flies, bees, wasps and ants? And they have many other interesting characteristics as it reads in this online resource site. I was surprised to learn this when I was doing some research about them. They are my favorite insec …
People are and are becoming poor for many reasons beyond the old stereotypes of laziness, mismanagement and addiction. Poverty has been increasing at an alarming rate and the US is in a rapidly declining economic condition that is not improving. Many hold on t …
Etsy has been changing and losing handcrafters for years. Complaints include frequently changing their TOS, not the least being increasing their fees. With all that I have read and seen, I'm not surprised to learn of another hard-working defector.& …
In Louisiana, it's more convenient to get a payday loan than a Big Mac. That's because there are four times as many payday loan outlets as McDonald's restaurants. While a steady diet of Big Macs will pile the pounds on, a steady diet of payday loans can put you in bankruptcy.

He has no formal training yet he sketches astonishing pictures on used, foam coffee cups. Of course I was impressed and I admire his ability to create beautiful drawings on such a small canvas. I like doing art in small spaces.
A few years ago I planted some freesia bulbs in the iris bed in front of the house. Only one seemed to come up so I watched as the stem and leaves formed. I looked at the tag from the package and freesia has blades, not leaves.

It takes special patience and commitment to teach certain individuals what may come natural to me and you. Though I've met some adults who don't know how to ride a bike, I can't imagine not being able to. It came natural to me and I have always had good manual dexterity and …
I become mesmerized when Andreas Viestad whips up his easy and tasty far north fare. I've seen him prepare a desert that he served up inside hollowed out oranges. He usually has a few friends lurking in the background, waiting to share his concoctions as the program …

I have always learned best by doing. Instruction, especially written, frankly puts me in a coma. So I hope this doesn't come off like that. I most certainly am not qualified to tell anyone how to do anything here.

My reason for deciding to shun Trump and anything with which he has to do is not only because he's been needlessly harassing Obama. It's because the little credibility that he has had with me has plummeted. Recently he has confirmed his unprofessionalism, his rudeness, …

So, in Chain Reaction a machinist and a female physicist go on the lamb when they are wrongly blamed...blah blah blah. We know what on the lamb means, but from whence did that expression originate? Does lamb mean animal lamb? I can't imagine a sheep r …

I really like Drew Carey and his mumbling dry wit. He's a really good host for The Price Is Right. He often takes time to speak to the models. He sometimes asks their opinions about the prizes. He even draws them into short conversations sometimes. …

It is becoming critical for all of us to store files and documents more safely and quickly than on a pc or portable devices. Some of us are doing very well to take the time to even do that.

After hearing about this scary story Seashore Serial Killer, I wondered about dental records being relied upon to ID bodies. Actually I've always wondered about it.

I've never much watched The Celebrity Apprentice, and I've never enjoyed it as much as I did Sunday night. John and Jon worked the street like a well-oiled promotional tag team. Niki pumped out pizzas like she was born into the family business.

ABC has scheduled another tear-jerker, at least for me, in the prime-time slot while the upcoming season of Extreme Home Makeover is being shot. Sure enough I was brought to tears over the fortune of the recipients of the checks.

I don't consider Mr. Sheen's behavior to be interesting or a big joke, but as I was watching the news this morning something interesting happened to me. A clip was played where he was being asked for his reaction on being fired.
