I just received a very tempting offer from my Groupon email notification. I love the group buying offers; sometimes it is 50-60% off some of my favorite restaurants. Sometimes the Groupon offers are not anything that interest me at this time...Brazilian

Did anyone else think this was weird that this year we had both a lunar eclipse on the Winter Solstice and now a Super Moon on the Spring Equinox? I took a look at the Super Moon the other night and it was big and shiny but I did not notice a significant

I loved the PBS series "The National Parks" by Ken Burns. It was six episodes that were filmed over six years and the history was fascinating and the cinematography breathtaking. The parks were indeed America's best idea and they are even

The weather is warm and it's time to get active again. I like bicycle riding...and that is exactly what I do, ride while someone human is pedaling. I can only imagine that even a simple machine like a bicycle can be difficult to maintain or repair

Do images of tumbleweeds in the desert materialize when you hear the words "Ghost Town"? Well, you don't have to travel to the desert Southwest to see a real ghost town. About one mile south of Jarrell and just north of Georgetown, the town
