One of my daily feed reads is the Instructables1 feed. The site has how-tos which are illustrated and compiled by the site’s subscribers. I’ve seen geek projects, crafts, recipes there; you name it, they’ve got it.
Yesterday, they had a Texas Hold ‘Em how-to. The article explained the rules of the game, in a [...]

And the drought gets dinged a little more. A nice, sometimes heavy, but a pretty soaking rain, too. Cold, wet, and a good night to be inside.
Needing the rain as we do, you’ll hear no complaints from me. My little bride, our faithful cat and I are in front of the teevee, [...]

Over the last day or so, practically every place in the region has received at least 2 inches of rain; some locales got 3+. There’s the promise of yet more precip over the next 36-48 hours.
Even though it’s wet and cold, we are grateful for the rain.
The drought still isn’t broken, but it’s at least [...]

The World Series starts tonight, and even fair weather fans like myself are compelled to declare an allegiance. At least the Series is devoid of any New York teams. The downside is that we have the Boston Red Sox in their stead. Being a National League partisan, except in the extremely unlikely [...]

Tomorrow, my little bride and I make the trek to Roanoke VA, where we’ll spend tomorrow night, and head to historic old Martinsville Speedway for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Subway 500 on Sunday.
For short trips, packing clothing, etc, is easy. Black chinos, Harvick t-shirts, a racin’ hat or two, some extra skivvies and [...]

If no measurable precipitation falls today, this area will hit a record 34 straight days with a bone-dry rain gauge. Much of the area is 12 inches or so behind yearly averages.
There is a chance of some fairly heavy rain overnight tonight and into tomorrow, but it sounds pretty spotty overall.
What we’d like [...]

From the ice cream gurus at Ben & Jerry’s, another flavor breakthrough: Cinnamon Buns. It’s described on the carton as
Caramel Ice Cream with Cinnamon Bun Dough & a Cinnamon Streusel Swirl.
Good to the last spoonful, too. Check it out at a supermarket near you.

From my Brown City MI connection, inspired words for troubled times:
Handle every situation like a dog.
If you can’t eat it or hump it,
Piss on it and walk away.
