The Arizona Department of Public Safety says a state trooper last week noticed a car in a high-occupancy vehicle lane on an Interstate in Phoenix with a “Seusspicious-looking” green passenger. A driver named Sam tried to pass off an inflatable figure of the Dr. Seuss character as a passenger. The Arizona police said they appreciate the “festive …
You know how magnets can repel each other? And if you've ever tried to push them together it's very hard. The forces keeping them apart are very strong. That's the essence of nuclear fusion. Forcing two particles together and using the energy from that reaction. Up until now it's taken more energy to create fusion than what you get out of it. In …
Last Tuesday I was in a bowling alley with Sparks (the group of learning disabled that I work with) and had the chance to observe several groups of 21 year olds. True GenZ's.

For some reason, in the middle of doing my daily pushups the other morning, I remembered when I had one of those uncontrollable, belly hurts laughs.

Properly held in one hand while standing anywhere, the cell phone can be covered in a variety of colors to match or contrast your outfit. The color black makes a fashion statement that is classically chic and sophistic …
Winter is just around the corner I need to get the shovels ready, buy some ice melter and prep my snow thrower...or should I?
The largest jackpot in US history...pretty exciting. However, a large, unexpected windfall can be more of a curse than a blessing. Winners have faced a variety of personal and financial challenges...and not always for the better. A common story is that the winner ends up going broke. The deeper and more troubling is that winning can change the na …
When you think about it, it’s really astonishing. In early civilization your labors were directly connected to your survival. You worked all day to live. Today, the production of food and goods we consume is antiseptic to our daily lives. We’ve lived through a pandemic where millions died and we survived by going online. From food to toilet paper …
It's Saturday...and anything goes.
