So, you spent time with “family” over the holidays. Don’t worry.  Maybe you were adopted. I know.  Your family makes the cast of Duck Dynasty look like England’s Royal Family.  (My favorite DD quote from Jase: “When you don’t know what you’re doing it’s best to do it quickly.”) You probably need to believe your […]

The Best Gift Idea Ever

Wondering what gift to get you-know-who? Wonder no more, bucko.  I have the unsolicited, unpaid answer, even though it might look like a paid commercial. Years ago, I didn’t know what to get my best friend for his birthday.  He didn’t need or want anything.  He had enough money to buy whatever he wanted without […]

There weren’t many Kodak cameras around when dinosaurs roamed the earth, so scientists make educated guesses about what the behemoths, leviathans and other seriously spooky critters might have looked like. Every now and then, sci-geeks say “Ooops!” and recalculate their designs, just as we do after we say to ourselves, “Sure, disco outfits are out of style […]

Christmas Tree Safety

You’re not going to believe this, but there are websites that instruct people how to put lighted candles on their Christmas trees “safely.” Sure, it’s maddening to untangle miles of Christmas lights that we swore we’d never schmoosh back into old boxes after the holidays, but it’s safer to go all “Griswold” than to set fire […]

Christmas 2012 falls on a Tuesday, which for some reason seems odd.  Y’know? Our friends at the Georgia Department of Transportation figure more travelers than usual are going to be driving around during the holiday week. Heavy holiday traffic is expected throughout the state.  Motorists should expect congestion near malls and stores in the entire Lake […]
