Oh, how annoying it is when the power goes out. Not sure what happened. We didn't have any storms last night or anything. Perhaps a squirrel got fried on a transformer? It's a possibility.
Nonetheless, we noticed around 130am the...

Ford Motor Company is a stock I have owned for decades, and the one thing about it, that is sometimes annoying, is that it's just never been an exciting stock by any stretch of the imagination.
In all the years I have owned it,...

It's that time again when you have the TV on, and if you are watching especially your local channels, almost every single commercial happens to be a political ad. I admit it does get annoying.
The TV stations certainly make their...

If you have followed me at all, I was in sales for the last 10 years of my career, and before that I did pest control as a technician with a sales element to it.
I made top sales one year.
Of course, when the pest guy came over...

Well, I hope they have had their fun and a good life, but it's over for those yellow jackets in my yard today that attacked me a few days ago when I mowed over their nest.
Rottler Pest Solutions will be arriving today at 12:15...

"So, I had a job once at Dollar General," a friend said to me during a conversation.
"Interesting. How did that go?" I asked him.
"I got in there and organized all the shelves. I made sure clothes were neatly folded and things...

My sister gave me a box of felafel mix she didn't want as she had changed her diet after she bought it. I had never had felafels before, but hey, it was free food. I wasn't going to turn it down.
I made them last night and I will...

Okay, so we kind of felt like this was probably coming, that Biden would drop out. But it was held up in the air for a long time considering Biden's defiance, even just Friday saying he was not dropping out, and reports that came...

The left rails against them, and Trump haters like to talk about them. Tariffs. "Don't you get it? A tariff doesn't cost the COMPANY anything. It's an added tax on US! They are just going to pass along the cost of the tariffs on...

Of course, by now you have probably read about my little encounter with yellow jackets after running over their nest with the lawn mower a few days ago.
I am fine, by the way. The worst part of the whole ordeal was back issues...

I had driven past it for a couple of years and thought the place looked interesting. But it never really "caught my eye," so to speak. Hawaiian food? I mean, what really could it be?
Turns out the menu is rather Asian inspired,...

For whatever reason, years ago I decided to remember at least two dates. The date of my wife and I's first date, and of course our marriage anniversary date. For us, our first date was on July 20, 2005.
So, that makes 19 years...

Let's say we can safely assume that Joe Biden has completely lost the support of his party. All the way to the top, even former President Barack Obama has said. "I think it is time to reconsider your viability."
The top brass...

I have to admit, it's harder and harder to predict what happens in campaigns anymore. Take the question about Joe Biden's future as the Democrat nominee and remaining on the top of the ticket.
Calls continue to get stronger from...
