FRESH AIR MAKES PEOPLE PEOPLE HUNGRY?

If you’re looking for fresh air, and who isn’t, you’ll find it in abundance at your local nursery where acres of plants release oxygen.

It may not feel, or look, like an oxygen tent, and you’re not a patient, but it does wonders.

MEXICO TRAVEL: PUERTO VALLARTA PERFECTION, pt2

First thing you’ll need is a new hat. Pick one, maybe two. Once you get into the swing of things you can adjust. Not a hat person? You are now.

Sasquatch Music Festival, Travel Therapy and Spa, Part 1

I collect things. Experiences, memories, a garage and crawl space full of important things saved for important people.

It’s best to have a full moon and rock and roll playing during a lunar eclipse.

These ladies are showing the back catalogue.

Decision makers have one job: make the right decision.

Then another and another and another all day long.

It’s not for everybody, but everybody does it.
