Received yet another interesting e-mail that I thought was worthwhile to pass along. Again, the pictures don’t credit a photographer (or a homeowner), however this time the location is said to be just outside of Anchorage, Alaska. Apparently the family had just finished building the playground for their young children, but look who was first to [...]

Let me make something perfect clear up front. This blog post is about predictions…not necessarily reality, at least not to the best of my current knowledge. We live in an iPod world and there’s no getting around that. I have to believe it’s only a matter of time until successful marketers figure out a way [...]

These photos appeared recently in an e-mail a friend sent along. Didn’t mention who owns the ice house or who the photographer might have been. Even so, I figured the pictures speak volumes as to how luxurious life can be for some folks while out ice fishing in the winter. While some individuals simply drill a [...]

I had not intended to blog any more about Jim Zumbo and the predicament he created for himself nearly a week ago with his blog, but I’ve changed my mind.

Remember growing up and watching TV or the movies where the characters would sometimes get devoured by quicksand. Just one false step and the substance would suck the living victim down into an inescapable, perhaps bottomless pit with very little opportunity for self-rescue. It made for good movie plots…and when the victim disappeared from sight [...]

This e-mail showed up in my in-box the other day. It came from a reliable source who passed it along to me, so I know everything is completely legit. Here, take a read: “My name is Susan Perkins [name changed]; I am in the casting department at ABC Television. Currently we are actively and urgently [...]

Let me ask you this. Can you name the Honorary Chairman and Spokesperson for the National Hunting And Fishing Day for the past several years? Seriously…think about it for a moment. During the last five years can you even name three of the folks who have served as the national cheerleader of sorts for this [...]

Let’s face it…there’s a few freedoms that us Americans hold quite near and dear to our hearts. Free Speech, Search and Seizure protection, Speedy Trials, and so forth. Yet without a doubt one of the most important rights guaranteed by our country’s forefathers is the 2nd Amendment — The Right To Bear Arms — an [...]

Here in Minnesota it’s been over 60 hours since the thermometer has been on the plus side of the scale. That’s right, all of this past weekend and today it has been below zero with bitter cold wind-chills in some parts down to minus 40 below. Temps like this can literally start freezing bare skin [...]
