That big brown spot on a perfect world
“Outside of traffic, there is nothing that has held this country back as much as committees.” -Will Rogers One day if we wake up to a world without war, without famine, without disease or poverty, we might be inclined to think that we’ve finally made it. There were a lot of folks who felt like that the day following the collapse of the Soviet Union… or the first morning when there was no Berlin Wall. Oh well. But this isn’t about the icy War or the fall of Russian communism… or even the ris

Post apocalyptic script review: WORLD WAR Z

Because I'll tell ya; if a 127 page screenplay could be this dense, I can only imagine how big i

Bentley cutting production on the back of falling sales

The reduction in sales, which had occurred mostly in the U.S., has been attributed to a variety of factors, including higher pet

Bainbridge and Salmon Ladders
We took the ferry to Bainbridge Island on Thursday. The trip on the water was pretty rad as you receive to look every of the skyline and Mount Rainier from a distance.

Prius Vs. Pickup
Prius Vs. Pickup General Comments Not that too many people are actually buying new vehicles these days….but here is something to consider. With high gas prices, a car that gets 45mpg seems like an obvious choice and financially savvy. With high gas prices, a truck that only gets 20 mpg seems like a stupid choice. You can buy a new Toyota Prius hybrid for about $22,000 - that is if you can find one on the lot. Alternatively, you can buy a new Toyota Tacoma pickup truck for about $15,000.
