Canon in D

I used to help out with weddings at my church. Help run the sound, play music, etc… and I have been to 100s of weddings. Anyone who has been to many weddings knows that the default processional is Pachelbel’s Canon in D. In fact, when I was suggesting music for the [...]

IKEA

Living in Colorado I have an (unhealthy) fascination with IKEA. I totally dig that funky northern european furniture design. In fact, one of my Christmas presents this year originated from the Scandinavian Designs store in Westminster.

Rosie O’Donnell just can’t keep her mouth shut. It wasn’t enough that she compared Christians to Islamic Terrorists, or that she made inappropriate comments about Chinese people, but now she’s gone up against Donald Trump.

Found this Model A Snowmobile on eBay.

Just in time for holiday fun. Your chance to own a very hard to find Model A coupe snowmobile conversion. Built in the 1930’s in Chicago, IL and owned by a hunting and fishing lodge in the northwoods of Michigan for about 40 years or so. They drove it [...]

Tornados in London

I should just start a category labeled ’stupid global warming’ and throw every random destructive weather event in there.
The latest is a tornado in London.

Local weather reports said warmer than normal temperatures this fall contributed to formation of the tornado.

See, I’m not just making this up.
