One of the most annoying things that I experience on a very frequent basis is the absence of any kind of address sign on may of the business buildings along the Main Street in our town. If I hadn’t grown up here, I swear I would never be able to find anything based on just being given an address! The vast majority of the buildings along the road need some kind of address plaque.
That is one of the things that I think makes a town more “user-friendly” to tourists and out-of-towners. What good is a GPS unit if it tells you that you’ve reached your destination and you look around for address signs and can’t find one anywhere?
I think that it should be part of the town code in downtown that easily seen address plaques are a REQUIREMENT. And by easily seen, I mean easily seen from a vehicle from the road, not something tucked up under an eave that can only be seen by pedestrians!
My wife is thinking of ways to spend the money that we should be receiving shortly from our taxes. We did pretty good this year, and are trying to come up with the best ways to utilize the new found money. Both of us could use some new clothes, we have been watching our pennies so closely these past few years that we haven’t spent much on things that weren’t absolutely necessary. So it would be nice to take just a bit of the refund cash and find some great online deals for a few things.
Dave’s New York has a website that I have had bookmarked for some time now. I’ve got my eye on a nice carhartt shirt, they’ve a great variety of top brand named clothing for good prices for their online shoppers. I used to have a carhartt sweatshirt, but it got ruined, big time, years ago and I’ve missed it, so I think that I’m due a new one by now. I like the look of this one that they are offering for under $50. It is a nice heavyweight zippered and hooded carhartt sweatshirt that would help keep my head and neck warm come next winter.
At Dave’s New York they have a 30 day return policy which gives you plenty of time to process a return, if needed. They’ve been selling clothes for over 45 years and they have a store in New York city as well. But since I don’t intend on visiting New York any time soon I’ll be more than happy to utilize their website for now.
While looking for a mobile broadband to sign up for my wife, I came across a blog that was featuring posts about data cards and USB Modems and mobile broadband in India. It looked like a very impressive collection of reviews. Reading those reviews, I became even more frustrated that it appears that there are a lot of good mobile broadband providers overseas, yet I am having trouble finding one over here!
In this great country of ours I fail to understand why we can’t get good service at a reasonable cost. If we are to remain competitive in this global economy, these kinds of services need to be affordable to more people. I can only hope that the prices of these services come down in the near future. These are important tools that we will need to survive.
I Googled “PTFE Properties” and I came up with an interesting website. If you ever need to know or learn about FEP Tubing or heat shrink tubing I’ve got the place to go for the facts and can be found at Fluorotherm.com. It’s always nice to try and keep on all of the technology that is coming out these days.
One of my favorite TV Channels is the Discovery Channel. I always learn something when I tune in there. I really enjoy Myth Busters and am glad to see that it is popular enough to keep coming back each season. The History Channel is a keeper as well, thank goodness for satellite TV, which brings all these entertaining but educational shows to us.
I usually enjoy watching comedies, but a good comedy is rare to find these days so I’ve been turning to other channels lately in an effort to find something to watch. I hear that The Tonight Show is coming back, that’s good new. Bye Bye for now Conan………….
Rod Stewart has been around a very long time and seems to be trying to make a come back. He is making appearances on all of the talk shows and I believe he has his own show going on in Vegas. It is too bad that he is so tired of singing all of his old songs that were such a hit, I’m afraid that is what his fans want to hear. Alas he is trying some new ones on for size. Maggie May will always be a favorite of mine.
