One day while meandering around the net as most of us do, I stumbled across several websites with lists of American Towns with odd, strange, and otherwise funny sounding names. Most of the town names are funny only because the English language keeps evolving and words are discontinued or their meaning...

No Escaping Politics By Kyleen Cornell Jul 20, 2004   Email this article  Printer friendly page One of the reasons I fell in love with Charley was his genuine interest in helping people and connecting with the people in his life. That interest extends to his community and he is often introduced...

I feel a little like Charlton Heston in Soylent Green here writing this article, but I feel it’s warranted, considering the lies we’ve been fed (so many years now) as to the origins of a certain golden sweet substance, we’ve become accustom to and so very fond of. Our fondness of it is so great...
