As human beings we tend to be very egocentric. We hustle and bustle about intent on satisfying our needs, goals and dreams.
Often we take for granted our environment, what we eat, where we live, life’s necessities and wants.
It’s me, me, me!
Have you ever taken the time and thought about how the animals perceive life, humans and their environment? What about mountains, oceans, plants,- even mythical creatures and aliens?
Are their perceptions and observations any less valid than our own? Are we really that vain? I’m not stating that inanimate objects or even aliens or magical creatures really ..read more

I don’t mean to brag (actually I do), but I was fortunate enough to experience the decades of the Muscle Car.
It’s true! I recall the introduction of the Mustang, the Roadrunner, the Cougar, the Charger and dozens of other high-performance, high-horsepower and gas-guzzling automotive beasts on wheels. It was awesome!
A good friend of mine when I was a teenager had a souped up Ford Galaxie with a modified V8 engine, custom paint job, chrome plated wheels and all the bells and whistles. That baby moved!

There’s an old saying in show business, “Acting is easy, comedy is hard.”
It’s says a lot about a family when two of its siblings are top-rate comedians.
Brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans have a knack for comedy and it shines through in their TV series The Wayans Bros.
In the series they play two brothers (surprise) who are polar opposites. Marlon is all business and mostly serious.
Shawn has a knack for getting in trouble, coming up with hair brain ideas and is always looking for any get-rich-quick opportunity.
Shawn is a delivery man and Mayan works for their dad at Pop’s Joint diner&n ..read more

Are you tired of going to the library or searching on the internet for information (for example) automobiles, carpentry, chemistry, math, tools, first aid and any other information-specialized or in general?
Yeah, I thought so. So have I. It’s a pain.
Where do you start? Is the information viable and true? Why can’t all the information about a particular subject be in one place? Is there too much information?
Why can’t information be condensed down to the simplest terms with all the pertinent information easy to use and understand?
There’s a solution.

A lot of changes occurred in the automotive industry when 1960 came around.
The cars of the 1940s and 50s tended to be heavy, rounded, clunky, with slightly stodgy interiors and accessories and were ungainly monstrosities that sucked down gas like soda pop, needed constant grease, frequent oil changes and radiator refills on trips.
Don’t get me wrong I love the look and ambiance of cars from those decades but when 1960 arrived American cars turned a corner on performance, appearance, engine capabilities, interiors and styling.
My very first car was a 1963 Ford Fairlane with red buck ..read more
