On Geocaching and Sugar Gliders
I've been Geocaching since it's creation and many people are aware of what it is. Simply put, things are hidden, GPS coordinates are posted for where they are and the challenge is to find the item.
More Garbage
I've disliked litter as far back as I can remember. By no means am I a Felix Unger (The Odd Couple, Google it) There is a difference between clutter and litter. Perhaps its from having worked near the Grandville landfill for several years or contending with household trash on the farm. No matter. It has always upset me to see garbage blowing around anywhere.
Fees are hokus pokus
I don't share the back slapping that city officials are having over a zero increase in city taxes. In order to accomplish that, the political magic of creating a new fee and not calling it a tax increase is being done by politicians that I expect better from.
Another icon going the way of the buggy whip
As I was watching the Packers come from behind against the Panthers, I saw someone walk across the yard and heard a plop on the front patio. It was heavy, didn't shatter and was free. That could only mean that it was some version of the old time Yellow Pages.
Labor Day Not Union Day
I'm no stranger to labor. I grew up with a farm background. My career is in the trades. My knees have paid the price of fixing your furnaces, air conditioners and boilers. My legs are weary from climbing ladders to service HVAC equipment on your roofs so that workers and customers can be comfortable. I am part of the labor force that makes America work and life better for all.
