Mushy in the middle
In an effort to get in better shape and to combat the high gas prices I’ve recently decided to start riding to work. It’s good exercise and it’s actually a nice ride.

An open letter to the state…
I hate the state department of unemployment. We pay into the “system” so we might have something to fall back on when we no longer have a job. Of course I would now rather gouge my own eyes out rather then take money from the state system that we all pay into. Why? Because I’ve…
