The upcoming Solar Eclipse in April is proof the we here in America will use any excuse to throw a party.

When my dad retired, he contemplated moving to two place:

Australia, because he was there in WWII and loved it and

Mexico, because he found out he could live like a king for $10.00 a day.

I'm glad he stayed here.

Travel expenses would have bankrupted me.

One more way to mess with kids today:

Buy something that costs up to a dollar and hand the young cashier a Sacagawea $1.00 gold coin.

For anyone born on Leap Year Day the year I was born (1952).

Happy 18th Birthday!

When you point your finger at someone,

three of your fingers are pointing back at you.

If you think someone looks weird,

someone thinks you look weird.

Go ahead, judge someone.

Karma is daring you to.

Highs today and tomorrow around 70 (F) degrees.

I just bought some window tinting today.

I know it's only February,

but it pays to plan ahead when you have east facing windows.

Along with my blackout curtains, I should be well covered

(pun intended)

when the time comes along.

... drinking and driving for two reasons:

1. I was getting tired of going to bars and being the oldest guy there. To me, it made me look like I had a drinking problem.

2. Working afternoons, I got tired of being followed home by the police... especially when I hadn't had anything to drink and was just going home from work.

I may have one or two drinks a week now and I guarantee you I won't get behind the wheel when I do imbibe.

I figure I was lucky for a long time to not get pulled over and I didn't want to press my luck.

Thank God my ex wife and my past girlfriends don't believe in Voodoo.

Apparently putting Alka Seltzer in your mouth before a baptism then acting like you're possessed by the devil is not considered funny.
