No Diet Necessary For NYC Residents

I missed the news again but I read something this morning that really bothered me.  Apparently New York City's Mayor Bloomberg and his staff are now some kind of nutritional experts.  Beyond that, they are really stepping on your right to choose what you want.

Starvation in Africa

I didn't catch the news tonight so I will have to pull one from last night.  Remember, last night was full of good ones and this one certainly fits the bill.  I think you can guess what the basis of the story is.

An Interview with a Prince

With the wet weather this evening, I have had a chance to catch the news.  And it certainly didn't disappoint me at all tonight.  I started writing about one of the others and I got one that was even better.  They played what turned out to be a tease of an interview with one of the princes of England.  I have complained about this in the past as not being news for the United States (The Royal Family).

A Problem with Linux

I think I have stated recently that I am trying Ubuntu Linux because I am not impressed at all with the new look (Metro) of the forthcoming Windows 8.  I don't want to use a phone interface when I'm using a desktop computer!  But I have come across something beyond not being able to run my favorite game of Civilization.

Commercial Drivers

Another busy night had me outside before I got to see much of the news.  But I had a run-in with something that has bothered me in the past.  Finally had it happen at a time when I remembered it for this.  I just don't understand what the folks driving the commercial vehicles are thinking!

Portion Sizes

The weather cooperated tonight so I got to do the work that I planned on doing last night plus what I was planning on tonight.  But that meant that I didn't catch the news once again.  But I did read an article earlier today and saw another post on Google+ with yet another talking about similar things.

Don't Invent Machines

I didn't catch much of the news between cooking on the grill and getting stuck in the shop during the downpour, but I did catch something that ties into something that I've complained about before.  It had to do with a bunch of people complaining about Onondaga county purchasing machines.

So Called New Television Shows

My wife saw a commercial for a show that we had seen in the past and really liked, so she recorded it.  It stated that it was an all new series so we were excited about it.  What a disappointment we had when finally got to sit down and watch it.

Google+ Drawback

Another beautiful day today and I avoided television after I watched the NASCAR All Start race with my oldest.  I'm not a fan but I love spending time with the kids.  But that actually lead me to doing something that I have done many times but I tried something different this time just to share the experience.

Artificial Sweeteners

Beautiful day today so I didn't get to watch any television until now (9pm).  That is the kind of day that I like.  But I did have to go shopping for some groceries and I found something while there.
