My Head Is Going to Explode

I like checking out I Has a Hotdog often, and these wild and crazy people and dogs always make me laugh especially when I feel like my “head’s going to explode” from work, or life in general. Too Darn Funny! Continue reading →

Hypermiling Part One or, “How to Make Friends While Driving”

So, yesterday, I started “practicing” my hypermiling skills. I hit the Interstate at 63 miles per hour (the speed limit is 55 mph), staying in the right lane almost the whole 25 miles to work. I didn’t have to hit the brakes for almost 20 miles of the trip. No fast accellerations, no slamming the … Continue reading →

Hypermiling or “How to Save Gas by Changing Your Driving Habits”

I saw a news bit last week on hypermiling and got to thinking. Is it possible to save money/gas by using these techniques? A lot of people that are hypermiling are driving hybrid vehicles, but a lot are driving old fashioned gas guzzlers, too. Hypermilers are drivers that exceed EPA estimated fuel efficiency on their … Continue reading →

What Kind of Dog Do You Think This Is?

My friend Rob would come up with something very catchy like a Polish Pieroge Hound. Inquiring minds want to know. What kind of dog does this look like? I’m leaning toward a Bernese Mountain Dog. Too bad we can’t run a DNA check on it! Please, help my friend Lou Ann identify this cute little … Continue reading →

Memorial Day .. Pause at 3:pm on Monday

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, was first observed on May 30, 1868 in order to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers. It was declared a national holiday by Congress in 1971 to be celebrated on the last Monday in May. I find it so strange that people will wish you a “Happy Memorial … Continue reading →

The Price of Gas is On My Mind and On My Charge Card

Someone recently e-mailed me a link to an interesting web site MSN Auto that will help you find cheap gas by zip codes. So, I plugged in my zip code and found cheap(er) gas about 15 minutes away that would take me about 30 minutes to get to. The three or four cents per gallon … Continue reading →

The Dog Cave

I’ve mentioned before that Clover sleeps in the closet. It is her place to hide from noises and people, or a place to sleep the night away. That is, or course, when she’s not asleep on my bed! Almost three years ago, I had the painters in to repaint my bedroom. All of the furniture … Continue reading →

Armageddon, Yogi Berra, and the Price of Gas

Thanks to Yogi Berra for the quote. The reason it came to mind yesterday was because I needed to put gas in the truck and almost had a heart attack when I saw the price for unleaded ranging from $3.87 to $3.98 a gallon. It may not be Armageddon per se, but I do believe … Continue reading →

Breaking News! Dogs Survive Day of Yard Sales

Cosmo reporting. Word has it that “she” is taking us out to some yard sales tomorrow morning. I’m getting kind of tired of these early Saturday morning forays. Dude .. what’s with the early up-and-at-em? My attitude might change, if “she” starts buying some interesting things for me once and a while. Or, at least … Continue reading →

Evelyn’s Vintage Advertising Ephemera Collection

A lot of Evelyn’s rose collection came from magazines, and on the back side of the roses, were some fun advertisements. Some are dated from the 1940’s. I love the bucking bronco, and I would love to have one of those gold Lincolns, too!  (( You can view the photos in a larger format by … Continue reading →

Eveylyn’s Vintage Rose Ephemera Collection

I found a large brown envelope at the recycle center when I was visiting my parents last month. It looked interesting, and since it was free … I took it so I could go through it later. Well, later is here, and I am surprised! The envelope is marked “Roses” and inside I found something … Continue reading →
