We’re a team from all across the United States as well as a few other continents on this lovely gadget-tastic world of ours, and even though the first Thanksgiving got its start in the USA, this whole day should be called one where we realize how very lucky we all are to have what we’ve got.

, Jul 28th 2011 Discuss [2]

It's HOT in Texas in the summer. I mean really hot. Fat hairy dudes are banned from walking in the grass during droughts out of fear the friction might start a forest fire. That means that many people end up doing something with water to keep cool. My kids always want to have a water balloon war. The problem is neither of them can fill their balloons.

What Do You Get A Dad That Has Everything?

, Jun 19th 2011 Discuss [10]

It’s Father’s Day and I wish dads out there a wonderful day with your sons and daughters.
