Red-hot Summer

Posted on August 13th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun, Nature.

This summers heat streak has certainly been formidable. I’ve lost count of how many 90+ degree days there have been in a row. Willis Carriers invention of air conditioning a century ago was certainly a game-changer, although air-conditioning didn’t become commonplace in homes until the 1960′s.

Hot humid day outside? Just settle back inside, or jump in the car and click on the AC. Let’s see…maybe turn it down, OH, one more degree.

Summer Heat

Posted on August 4th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun, Photo Flash.

Some of the days lately have been on the warm side. But I guess I’m one of those persons that doesn’t mind at all. The heat feels good actually. What you rather have…weather like this, or what we had in mid-January? I’ll take hot weather every time. Besides, it doesn’t do any good to complain. I’ve never seen the weather change because it hears people complaining. I have a feeling

Traveling

Most of the time I stay firmly anchored near home base where I live and work. But lately I’ve been traveling some. I went to Pittsburgh on a quick trip on a personal errand, and then a few days later, drove to Michigan for a few days of R & R. The image above was taken just before the flight attendant announced that all mobile phones must be turned off,

Whatever I Feel Like Day

Posted on June 20th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Holidays, Just for Fun.

Today is Father’s Day and so I figure I get to do just about anything I want since indeed, I’m a father. It’s similar to when it’s your birthday or something. I decided a few days ago not to host an Open House or take any real estate appointments today…so I had the day off. And so, what did I do with my special day when I could do whatever I feel like? Well,

For someone who likes to stay abreast of technology, I was overdue for an upgrade on mobile phones…so long in fact, that I had been operating without a contract with my mobile carrier for years. It had been over seven years since purchasing my last one, which at the time was one of the best Smartphones that ran Windows Mobile. I’ve patiently watched as iPhones broke the mold with touch screens and faster

Grilling Saga

As a long-time user and current owner of a Weber grill, I was more than interested in it’s namesake restaurant when it opened here a few years ago. I bought my first Weber about 35 years ago, and finally, after years of faithful service, rolled it out to the street on trash day last year. Sadly it had been on it’s last legs for the last 2 years…but I couldn’t part with

Curious Mix

Motor sports activities all over the country are starting to pick up now with the warmer weather, including our own Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It’s an expensive sport if you are a participant, and teams live or die because of their support from sponsors. So some interesting alliances are formed with sponsors who want the racing crowd to notice them. It might just be me but some sponsors seem appropriate to be linked with auto
