Memorial Day. White Sales at Sears. Barbecues on the beach. Boating with friends on an extra day of a three-day weekend. I spoke with several veterans today at the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum’s Memorial Day recognition ceremony. The consensus was that they are hurt and feel that many don’t honor those that have served, remember [...]

This image is easily in my Top 5 list of favorite images I made with Hometown News over the last 8 years. We received a press release from a gymnastics team after they had won a competition in Orlando. It came with a photo (too low a resolution for print and with the date in [...]

Hilarious School Exam Answers
(not really ‘by me’ but I can’t get rid of that line above) Too funny not to post: The following questions were set in last year’s GCSE examination in England. These are genuine answers from 16 year olds, not very bright, but entertaining, 16 year olds. Q. Name the four seasons A. Salt, pepper, mustard [...]

Osama bin Douche-bag is still the leading story on the news over a week after his murder. I call it murder to balance the equation of what he did to so many innocents in keeping with the code of Hammurabi. He had it coming. In our little paradise on the east coast of Florida we [...]
