Money Is Not Important: Did you know? →
moneyisnotimportant: During the 1950s and early 60s, the highest tax bracket was over 90%. Granted, this was a marginal rate, meaning that not all of someone’s income was taxed at this rate. This was an effort to discourage mindless greed, and it was thought that this would ultimately benefit the economy. The theory…

50 Lessons I wish I had learned earlier | Family... →
Some of these are duplicates and some actually contradict others, but there’s still some good stuff in here. 1.    You’re stronger than you think you are. 2.    Mistakes teach you important lessons.  Every time you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal. 3.    Every accomplishment starts with decision to try. There is nothing to hold you back except you. 4.    You can press forward...

Christmas Cards
So… I received a very nice Christmas (Holiday) card from the Obama family this year. “From our family to yours… may the holiday season and the coming year be filled with joy for you and your family.” It even has pre-printed signatures from Barack, Michelle, Malia, Sasha, and Bo. Included with this wonderful holiday message was a request for me to send them money. Is this...

On a crisp, near-winter night I really enjoy watching the exhaust flow around both sides of the car from the dual exhaust. Even watching via the rear view mirror, the two beautiful clouds rise up past the trunk. It warms the cockles of my heart!

In Major Gaffe, Obama Forgets To Dumb It Down |... →
CINCINNATI—In a serious miscalculation that may prove devastating to his bid for a second term, President Barack Obama neglected Tuesday to simplify a statement to the point where it could readily be grasped by anyone with the vocabulary of an 8-year-old. “Instead of saying, ‘There are many global variables at work here, and unless they all fall into place, we could find ourselves...

Delaware: Home of Wine!
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania tells me that I can bring my own wine (for personal consumption) across the border with no problem. So last Friday, I did just that! I went to the great state of Delaware to take advantage of different selections (and a few better prices) and returned with two and a half cases of treasure, plus a few gifts to pass along to others this Giftmas. Just over two...
