Milk With GPS
No, actually milk doesn’t come with a GPS, but if you want to find out from where your milk came, you can. Just visit Where Is My Milk From . I thought this was kind of funny when I saw it in an issue of Kim Komando’s newsletter, but I guess there are good reasons [...]
Texas Has It All
My pal Frank sent me a cute email about all the Texas towns with novelty names. You may have found that in your Inbox too. Since I “collect” names, I thought I’d share some of these with you. They’re real towns, and the zip code appears too if you’d like to check it out. So [...]
April Fool
I won’t bother with the history of April Fools Day since Wiki has done such a good job of it. If you click over to Wiki, be sure and read the list of gags perpetrated on this day. Some are ROTFLMAO funny. Others are rather lame. Once, I had wanted to buy a house over [...]
Temporary Internet Files
You see the phrase Temporary Internet Files often if you have a computer. Do you really know what they are?

Writers & The Sense of Sight
I’m exploring sensory sensation so I can write better description. I love writing dialogue, but description is something I have to work at. Since books are composed of more elements than dialogue, I try to improve where I’m weak. Because your sight is responsible for 90-95% of all your sensory perception, the sensory details that [...]
Most Published Book in the World
I was reading something the other day about book publishing. My curiosity was piqued about the most published book in the world, The Bible. There’s a lot of interesting information about The Bible. Here are a few of the interesting tidbits I learned. 1. Johannes Gutenberg was the first European to produce a book printed [...]
Today In History: February 11
I was doing some research today, looking for a celebration or some significant event for the 11th of February. I came across several interesting things that happened on this day in history. Thomas Edison was born on this date in 1847. Therefore National Inventors Day is celebrated on February 11 of every year. Since 1904 [...]
5 Random Truths
Texas Laundry I was sorting clothes in the laundry room this cold Monday morning, and I realized that only in south Texas do the contents of a laundry hamper look like mine with an equal number of summer clothes – shorts and tee shorts from the early part of last week – and winter clothes [...]
