Crime and Punishment
I read today that the U.S. Government is going to spare the life of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, the head of the Sinaloa Cartel. Instead, they plan on “Holding The Mayo”. I wholeheartedly agree…..

A Whole Lotto Beer
My wife and I are in Sonoma County. We love making this trip every year. My best advice to anyone visiting wine country is this – beer. This is the story of how we got 3 free beers from 3 different places in the same bar on the same day.

Seeing the World through Rose-Colored Glass
My wife and I visited Judson Studios. What I want to say simply is that this visit was probably the best tour we’ve taken. Most tours are run by a hired hand who has a script. You walk down certain paths that are marked so as to not disturb the surroundings, and if there are…

The Money Dance
I’m at a certain type of exclusive large home center store that’s painted a bright orange. I notice a placard that says – Tap Card Here, with a bright orange arrow to the exact spot that you are to place your card. How helpful. I cannot speak for you, but figuring out how to exactly…

When I retired, I was asked many, Many, MANY times what my travel plans are. Apparently, when you get the gold watch, you’re supposed to leave the country.
