I'm amazed at the lack of damage to the car...

And I'm not at all surprised that it was a woman behind the wheel.

My first car was a 1978 Chevy Malibu. My grandparents had it for 8 or 9 years, then my oldest sister drove it, then I got it when I turned 16. 2 weeks before I got my license the brake lines rusted through, and dad decided it was time to sell the ol' girl. Then I inherited my other sister's 1982 Ply...

Donald Wertlieb, a professor of child development at the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University, warned that such punishment could do extreme emotional damage. He said rewarding positive behavior is more effective. this sums up everything that is wrong with the educationa...

I don't see anything wrong with this. You kid is acting like a dumbass, so you send them out on a street corner for an afternoon with a sign like this? Brilliant! I hope it straightened the kid out, I went to school with kids who's parents should have tried this.

Wisconsin Dells is full of the wacky, absurd, and just plain wierd. There's Tommy Bartlett's place that has the 2nd MIR space station (Tommy bought it off the Russkies back in the late 1980's), one of the amusment parks has a huge Trojan Horse out front, there's the Mystery Spot, the Ducks (old mili...

I've heard conflicting reports on Cozumel. One of my customer contacts at work is leaving on a cruise on Friday, and they will not be making the scheduled stop in Cozumel. However, I found this report on a Cozumel travel message board: http://www.mytravelboard.com/cozumel/messages/20583.html "W...

I'm just about done with "Serpent" by Clive Cussler. This is the first book for Kurt Austin, basically Dirk Pitt's replacement. So far, so good; has the usual Cussler elements, and is a real page-turner. I've managed to get about 3/4 through it in a week, which is a big accomplishement for...

I lost any remaining (and there wasn't much) respect for the French after visiting Ottawa, Canada this past week and having to deal with the French Canadians (just as rude as the european french). The arrogance of their culture was epitomized to me when watching the weather on French-language TV; wh...

I'm guessing the ABC is a liquor store? My friend lives down the street from a place that's (get this) a hardware store AND a liquor store, depending on which door you use.

I really wanna see this one, my best friend was a tank driver/sniper in the 1st Cav. during DS. I may wait for it to hit the budget theaters or DVD first tho. The one I REALLY wanna see is the bio of Johnny Cash coming out in a couple weeks.

Mine is Edward, after my dad's uncle. The initial is on most of my official documents and credit cards, but the only time I actually hear it is when I'm REALLY in trouble.

Hmm... I think I still have my Scott Podsenik bobblehead that I got at a Brewer's game back when he was a rookie, I wonder if it's worth something now...

Speaking of sammiches, I noticed the original Suburpia sub shop (they've been gone for 20-odd years) is coming back, they're opening one on Hwy. 100 and Bluemound in Wauwatosa.

"We figured there was too much happiness here for just the two of us, so we figured the next logical step was to have us a critter."

On a related note, I just saw Alison Krauss & Union Station tonight, EXCELLENT show. Alison's very funny, was cracking jokes all night between songs. Combine that with her angelic voice and good looks...what a charmer...

Pleasantville?

(I'm not 100% so I'll look in the morning for confirmation before posting the next one)

1. Where are you right now? In my living room, "working" from home this afternoon 2. What time is it? 3:08pm 3. What are you wearing? jeans, green polo 4. Any people or animals around you? Describe them. the dog is lying on the floor behind me, whining about something I have no idea what 5...
