  • Stop messing with the thermostat!

    It’s a source of contention in many households. Cold natured folks and hot natured folks battle for temperature control.

  • Searching for that perfect shade tree

    My idea of a vacation isn’t sitting up in a hotel for a week — it’s putting my clothes, food and tent in a backpack and hoofing it several miles through the woods for a few days.

    Heck, each year after the fair I retreat to a favorite campground or trail to relax for a week or so.
