Have no fear, the government will watch out for us. They know what's best, after all, and should be given complete power over every part of our lives. I sure am glad those super-smart, efficient, honorable, experienced government officials are now applying their wisdom to the auto industry!

I can hear the cries of foul play now; attacks on my character, screams from the peanut gallery, investigations by the press. However, I have no choice but to award the victory for Caption Contest 2009.2 to none other than Buffafly for her post January 18, 2009 6:50 pm. For those of you who don't…

As promised, our second caption contest of the year!  Same prize for the winner as the last one!

Okay, this was a tough one! I really enjoyed all your inputs on the caption contest, and determining a winner was almost impossible.

I thought I'd post a picture that shockingly proves there are ghosts walking around in Pompei, Italy (if you look closely, you can see him, toga and all, just behind my son and me)!  (click on the picture to enlarge) HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!  

I would like to propose a new boycott, directed at some of the most fiendish foes ever encountered: those irascible packaging engineers who insist on ensnaring toys with wires, tapes, blister packs, and (sometimes even) screws! Just what necessitates the complex, skin-slicing myriad of contraptions that hold toys in their packages with such ferocity? Are…

There is one activity that seems unaffected by the slowdown in the economy.  All one has to do is head out on the road system to see what I'm talking about.   It has to do with road construction barrels.    Most states I've visited display their barrels like a badge of honor. There are so…
