The other day, I saw a sign for a fish restaurant. You could either buy their fish or you could bring your own and they would cook it for you.
Well, it is an unusual concept but it if works, then why not? I wonder if they will make chips from your own potatoes?
When I purchased my new laptop, it came loaded with an anti virus program. But, after a few weeks, the license expired. So, I needed to either purchase the anti virus software license or load a different program. And, since I already had a different anti virus program that I used on my other machines, I decided to load that one on my new machine.
Unfortunately, the installed anti virus program wouldn’t let me. Every time that I would delete the installed antivirus program and install my preferred anti virus program, the installed anti virus program would reappear and disable my preferred anti virus program.
The installed anti virus program was holding my PC hostage. So, I had a choice of renewing the installed antivirus program or going without an anti virus program. Isn’t that what a virus does?
Burger King announced today that it is coming out with a new cologne called “Flame Broiled”. Of course, on this day in the past, Burger King announced it’s new “Left Handed” Whooper. Time will tell.
The Adopt-A-Highway program has proven to be quite successful for removing trash along our highways. Perhaps we could use a similar approach for road repair. Corporations and community organizations could sponsor the maintenance of various stretches highways. But, instead of picking up trash, they could go out with a couple of buckets of “cold patch” and fill in some pot holes. And, if the corporations are large enough, they could even pay for a mile or two of new asphalt.
Most people agree that the roads need to be fixed. Unfortunately, our paid leaders in Lansing can’t seem to come up with a solution for funding the road repair. So, I guess we need to come up with our own funding solutions.
One of the first that comes to mind are bake sales. This Grass Roots fund raiser has been around for hundreds of years. And, it has been quite successful in funding community projects. So, why not use it to fund road repair? After all, if enough communities join in the effort, it could prove to be quite effective.
In January, I passed my first Ham Radio license exam for the Technician Class. Last weekend, I passed my Ham Radio license exam for the General Class. I haven’t decided yet if I will try for the final level of the Ham Radio classes.
It is spring and the sap is running and so are the sugar bushes. In years past, you might see a few trees that were tapped. But this year, the back roads seemed to lined with tapped trees. I have to wonder as to why there is such a surge in maple syrup?
I saw my first Lansing snowplow the other day. This must be a sure sign of spring. Of course, in the 26 years that I have worked in Lansing, I have never seen a Lansing snowplow until now. I suspect that the City took it out of winter storage and moved to a new location where it can be serviced and then put back into winter storage this fall.
What is the latest fad in movie theaters? Recliners. That’s right, recliners. Some theaters are now offering the option to put your feet up and relax. I suppose it is only a matter of time before they provide over stuffed chairs and sofas.
In Michigan, the price for all alcohol is set by the Liquor Commission. This means that all of the prices are the same. So, the lowest price is also the highest price.
