I’ve seen collection bins for eyeglasses before. The local Lions Club does this as one of its charitable works, but I had to look twice when I saw a story about collection bins for false teeth.

Two vivid images immediately come to mind when the word dirigible is thrown out in conversation – the blue and yellow Goodyear blimp flying over sporting events and the blazing crash of the Hindenburg. While the blimp acting as skycam is affiiliated with stadiums filled with fans and Super Bowls, we all recall the quote […]

So you’re in line at your local market with a couple of six packs of your favorite brew in hand, when who should step behind you but your grandmother’s best friend or your Sunday school teacher. You don’t want to come across as a keg-headed sot, so quick like a fox you toss a conversation […]

A small sector of conspiracy theorists speculate that man has never set foot on the moon. If that is out of their realm of belief, I’m guessing those naysayers and doubters certainly won’t buy the fact that there’s a mini modern art museum on the moon.

Seventy-five years ago, the communicator that comic strip crime fighter Dick Tracy wore strapped to his wrist was thought to be a flight of fancy. Now cell phones are common among kindergartners.
