Kentucky Fried Chicken of New Zealand is offering their really loyal customers the chance to win a strange piece of merchandise: a scented candle. Not just any candle though. The iconic fried chicken joint posted to their FB page a fried chicken-scented candle bearing the image of the chain's Colonel Sanders logo. This is not the first time KFC o …
Ahhh the sounds of suburbia. I awoke this morning to hear the lovely whine of several leaf blowers and the rumble of a few lawnmowers as they made their way around my neighbor's yards. We have a rule in our town that states you cannot use this equipment before 8A and wouldn't you know at exactly 8A the cacophony of 2 cycle and 4 cycle engines fil …
I love Thanksgiving...no presents, no religion, just good food (hopefully:), friends, family and a heaping of gratitude. But that's not what my blog today is about. Last Tuesday night I arrived home, ate some dinner and went upstairs to get ready for bed..I was exhausted. As I'm in the process, I hear the familiar sound of a lawnmover rumbling …
Half of all Americans rely on Facebook for their news source. Unfortunately it has been used as a political tool this past election for spreading falsehoods and lies. Facebook had fired their newstaff roughly 6 months ago so the social platform's news streams were unfettered and exploited. Fake news was published and displayed on individuals medi …
Here's something for you to ponder...according to the Constitution, chosen electors of the Electroal College are the real people who will vote for president, when they meet on Dec. 19th in their respective state capitals. There is technically nothing stopping any of the electors from voting their conscience and refusing to support the candidate t …
Not for the election Tuesday, Fred covered that yesterday. This is about something much bigger. We’re about to see the biggest supermoon in more than 60 years – and there won’t be another until 2034. On November 14 at 9:52 AM, the moon will be the closest to Earth it has been since 1948. The moon is expected to be 14% bigger and 30% brighter, m …
A 63 year oid man, Alan Sorrentino, sent a letter to a small (5,000 circ.) Rhode Island newspaper criticizing women who wear yoga pants in public. He described yoga pants as "stinky, tacky, ridiculous looking." "They do nothing to compliment a woman over 20 years old,” he wrote in the letter, which was published on Wednesday. “In fact, the look i …
They're in style and many men have grown them in many different lengths. Fred shaves his off and grows it back several times during the year. A friend of mine wears a goatee and extends it to a full beard then shaves it back. I've had mine for a very long time...30+ years. I can't remember not having a beard. I look at pictures of myself withou …
A 7 year old young man just bought what he has dreamed about...a pony. Sabastion Lucas from Australia sold lemonade for 3 years to save up enough money to purchase his new pony Tom. Sabastian makes his lemonade with lemon and sugar and sells it for 20 cents a cup. It became so popular he would regularly sell out. I think we should make him a …
After a 60th birthday party in Saratoga tonight and a wedding in Maryland Sunday, we're heading to Myrtle Beach on Monday. Then again Matthew may have something to say about it as it pounds the Carolina coast this morning. It's a game time decision whether we go or not. There are automatic no-go factors and ones that could sway me either way. For …
That was on a license plate I noticed yesterday and I started to wonder... I know many people who are generous with their time and money...even if it is in a small way. For myself, I am generous to a fault, especially in business. I give my time and efforts to many pursuits that are not profitable. My Father and I used to discuss that quite a b …
A hug a day... Yes it's true. A study published by Carnegie Mellon suggests that, in addition to making us feel connected with others, hugs may prevent us from getting sick. You might think that hugging hundreds of strangers would increase your exposure to germs and therefore the likelihood of falling ill. But the research out of Carnegie Mellon …
What's left after a bruising battle, a war, a conflict, an argument? Raw feelings, resolution, terror....? Can we as a country feel unified? Did we ever? We are fed a stream of news that is divisive and lopsided, you can pick the side. Social media feeds us what we want to hear...not what we should hear. Yes...it's true. Social media keeps track …
Yes it's true. Walled City Brewery in Londonderry, Northern Ireland posted an advertisement in a local newspaper seeking a 'beer taster.' The lucky person will be required to taste up to 40 craft beers once a month. And get this..."Training will be provided but ideally we are looking for an understanding of the nature of craft beers, for someone …
Two months ago, Joshua Justice was working his manager shift at the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium—a small chain of UFO-themed brewpubs—located in Houston, Texas when he spilled a large amount of liquid on his pants. Bummer. Thanks to a passing car equipped with Google Street View camera, that day has been preserved for all to see. Double Bummer …
It's Saturday...and anything goes.
