California uses more gasoline than China.
If California were a separate nation, they’d be the leading fuel consuming nation in the world.
So while the rest of the country is being told to conserve, to pay higher gas prices, switch to hybrids, etc. it appears the really disproportionate consumer of gasoline in the US (and the World) […]

When we were trying to get high speed internet for my wife’s transcription business, people kept asking us “Can’t you get Verizon’s high speed wireless internet?”
For one thing the local reps could never GUARANTEE we’d have access where we live. Knowing phone companies like I do, I didn’t even want to take a test drive.

I notice weird headlines. At least this wasn’t on an ad someone paid to run!
“Tennessee ranks 30st for children’s health care”
I can’t figure out (even after reading the story) if that means 31st or 30th.

Evidently though that lack of entrepreneurial drive and “Get’ em Tiger” attitude may not mean you’re depressed at all… you may just be British according to this humorous post […]

I really didn’t believe this when I saw it because I wasn’t under the impression the cows had to adjust to Daylight Savings Time… but now that the farmers are milking earlier, they don’t like adjusting to the farmers much.

Are you on LinkedIn?
To tell you the truth, I only checked this because someone wanted to put me in their network. Otherwise I don’t exploit this system the way I might. I tend to use the “network” in my email contacts more.
