I’ve never given much thought to what happens to the future of our crops and other plant life in the event of a disaster. I suppose I assumed it would just find a way of regenerating.

I just went with my daughter, one of my best friends and her daughter to Orlando for the weekend. We went to the Princess and Pirates Party at Magic Kingdom Friday night and then to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot on Saturday. Since we only stayed over one night, we just opted for a room […]

My current auto insurance company has me pretty upset right now. I will try and tell the story as simply as possible. Florida used to have a PIP (personal injury) requirement and I had to pay an additional fee on my auto insurance. Then, the state removed that requirement and it came off my policy.

You really have to wonder what the full story is in a case like this. It turns out that an Iraqi Air Force made an emergency landing on a two-lane stretch of road in rural Highlands County, Florida yesterday.
