    Another "free energy" scam.

    Our local NBC affiliate carried this story today: This outfit is gonna "create" "free energy" by covering the highways with little buttons. When cars run over the buttons they generate electricity. The scam artists then collect and sell the electricity generated. They even showed pix of the...

    Rocco Mediate: Heck of a performance

    He is ranked about 154 among professional tour golfers, yet it took Tiger Woods 91 holes to defeat him by one stroke for the U.S. Open Championship. We expect great golf from Tiger, but Rocco defeated 153 pros ranked higher to take Tiger into an 18 hole playoff, then to one hole of sudden...

    64 years ago. . . .

    It really makes me feel old that there are people retired who weren't even born on D-Day. It makes me sad that so few remember it at all. It was the major turning point in the European Theater of Operations. Many brave young Americans died that day. Please honor their memory.

    Solar panels vs. hail

    The TV spots I see touting solar panels always seem to be in areas that rarely experience hail. I had a metal roof built on this house because of hail and so far (9years) it has saved my insurance company about 10 grand. What does 1"-6" hail do to solar panels?

    **** Martin

    While we are mourning passed funny men let's not forget **** Martin who passed this past weekend. He and partner Dan Rowan (Laugh In) revolutionized TV comedy. Laugh In crammed more jokes and gags into less time than anyone and always had me in tears. They made "Sockittome" and "Here come da...

    Honoring our war heroes

    For a lot of us honoring war dead is kind of impersonal, except, of course, for those who have had a loved one or close friends give all for our country. I lost friends in Korea and Nam and I have had acquaintances lose sons in the Middle East, but the losses that hurt me most were a group of...

    Boat pulling right or left, by MikDee Verified

    The first thing to check is the small trim tab just under your anti-ventilation (also called cavitation) plate. If your boat is pulling to the right, like all boats with clockwise (normal) prop rotation, turn the back of the trim tab on the cavitation plate to the right like this if looking at...

    FREE car insurance!

    Dear Whiplash Insurance Company. My current auto insurance cost me $850 per year. Gecko says they can save me $245. BAARF says they are $348 cheaper than Gecko. Your ad says you can save me $315 over BAARF. Your policy, then, must be $908 cheaper than mine, so you owe me $58 if I sign up...

    Dear (whatever) Insurance Company

    I am quite happy with the car/boat insurance I have, thank you. Though I probably pay more than you claim you would charge me I probably get better, faster service and fewer hassles getting a claim honored. So, no, I don't want to save X hundreds of bux for your bargain basement policy. I am...

    Who is using veggie oil or biodiesel?

    Considering making biodiesel. I bought a DVD on eBay on how to produce biodiesel. Really sux; can't read the guy's charts and the audio is unintelligible. There are soooo many sets of instructions and education out there and I don't want to waste another $20 on drivel. Got any suggestions on...

    Small pond boat?

    Many years ago I had a little boat called a SportYak. It was plastic, 7' long and was unsinkable. Max weight was 700lb and max power was 5HP. I loved it for fishing small waters with my beloved Johnny JW-20 on it or simply using a skulling paddle. I have become too frail to use my Boston Whaler...
