A small can of Mt. Dew costs a minimum of $1.50. While travelling through Romania, I saw a quart of Slick 50 for...

In a couple of hours I'll be leaving to attend the funeral of my step father, Ken. Ken passed away a couple of days ago. He was 96 and lived a full life, spending the last decade with my mom. Ken was a marine that fought at Guadel Canal. He was injured by a mortar and carried a piece of shappnel...

So here I am in Hungary getting used to customs, etc., some of which are really weird to me. They sell an orange cola here and printed on the label is "the new american taste." See the attached photo. I don't remember ever seeing orange cola in America. Also they serve pizza with corn on it...

Sad to inform you all that two more long running American companies have gone out of business, I suspect you've heard of both and likely have their products in your home/garage. First, Tecumpseh engines went under. You probably have one in your lawnmower, tractor, or snowblower. Increasing...

I wanted to post this earlier, just ran out of time. The American Diabeties Association had its annual ride today in Atlanta, GA. There were over 400 motorcycles in the ride. Hooters hosted the event. The boys in blue motorcycle brigade guided the ride. It was awesome! Believe it or not, out of...
