I have too much stuff, and it’s been a constant source of stress, particularly since I got injured 4 years ago. I made some significant reductions to it last year, but there’s much more to deal with. Over the past few days, Cathy and I have finally dealt with...

I wrote this post and had it basically ready to post on January 5, 2021, but just didn’t know what to do with it. But today is the third anniversary of the day the glass trolley was delivered, and looking at the draft version of the post anew, I...

A couple that were on my 2015 Yukon Quest tour have a large collection of cars, trucks, toy cars and other stuff in De Winton, just south of Calgary. I’ve had a standing invitation to come for a visit, and finally made time to do that, on our last...

Last night I was hugely amused (and occasionally grossed out) by PeopleofWalmart.com – but today Tiger Woods is even funnier. The higher you climb, the further there is to fall, and there’s a lot of funny stuff out on the Web now! The funniest has to be the Tiger...
