Unsobby Coffee

A couple of months ago McDonald's came out with a fancy line of coffee. They wanted to compete with Starbucks. Being the birthplace of Starbucks, it definitely caught the attention of the local media who immediate got a coffee connoisseur to test the java from the two companies. McDonald's won. I've been thinking I should try it, so when I got a coupon in the paper I decided to give it a go. It is pretty good.

Life In a Northern Town

Just because I like it...

I thought Mike's fine was bad....

Mike got had to pay mega bucks for parking in a no parking zone at a Seattle hospital a while back. The truck got towed and he had to pay a ticket on top of that. I thought that was bad until I saw this....

Blog Guy, I’ve read that America’s big cities are running out of parking places. I know you travel the world. Are other cities trying anything new?
You bet. Berlin is looking at so-called “momentum parking.” You leave your car, and a huge crane hoists it up 500 feet, then lets it go. The impact buries it several feet down, thus taking up far less room than an ordinary space.
I don’t believe that. You’re just making up stuff to go with stupid pictures again.
I’m serious! It’s happening in ‘Potsdamer Platz,’ which is German for “My car went platz!!” You can look it up.

Ok. It's really "unidentified artwork" but it was funny.

If you are a mom, you know you've done this. If you have a mom you've heard it!




What about dads, you ask? Well Anita has done one for them, too!

The Refrigerator

We have a refrigerator sitting in our basement that Mike’s parents bought before Mike was born. We used it to keep milk, pop, veggies, etc. in so the kitchen refrigerator wouldn’t be so crowded after trips to Costco. It gave up the ghost last winter. It’s amazing that it lasted over forty years. I feel kind of bad to be taking it off to the dump today. It seems like it should go to the Museum of They Don’t Build Them Like They Used To.

Why?

Apparently the hot new sport is extreme ironing. You take an iron and ironing board on vacation with you and photograph yourself ironing. Why??? I do my best to never iron at home. Why would I want to do that on vacation?
