HYBRID CARS / HOV LANES?
Just a short post to get into the swing of things…

SLOW MOVING (TRAFFIC)
I guess I haven't been as consistent with my writing lately. I've been pretty tied up with a number of other things. Now, I'm trying to get prepared for the Red Hot Arts Fair that takes place on June 7-8 right here in little old Stevens Square.

ANOTHER TAKE ON THE PARKING ISSUE
Do you read your hometown newspaper online? I love to read the Sheboygan Press - I try to check it at least once every day or two. I don't know, I think there's something healthy in keeping up to date on where you're from. When I checked today's Press, I […]

LATER BAR TIME IN MINNEAPOLIS
Well, it looks like Minnesota will join the ranks of states that have bars open to 2 am. Yeah, I'm sure to most in the country / world this seems a little humorous. Until now, bars have only been allowed to stay open until 1am. Ok, somethings are quite puritanical here […]

TRYING TO BUILD SOME WRITING MOMENTUM…
Well, I made it through a fairly off-kilter week. I don't know, something's just been a little odd the last few days, so this weekend was a well-deserved break.
Let's see, work-wise, I spent the past week inspecting some public housing (measuring door widths, and things of that like) around […]

HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN
