Last week I surmised I may have been transmuted into some sort of electrical super-freak — in eight days I lost two computers, a TV and a car battery. The only thing in common with these electrical devices, as far as I could tell, was they all were touched by me. Gulp. I wondered what […]
I know, I know . . . I am late on the whiner’s wagon in regards to crying about the excessive displays of selfishness taking over Michigan. Of course, I am talking about the evening hour shenanigans and fireworks. Come on already folks, July 4 was half a month ago! I know the state still […]
Okay something weird is up. Maybe I should just call an astrophysicist or something; have things checked out. In the course of one week and one day, electrical devices connected to you know who (if you don’t know who, it’s me — your hero, Dandy Don Rush) have been crappin? out. Two Sundays ago . […]
When I got to the office this morning (Monday), the green-lit, digital clock on my vehicle’s instrument cluster read 6:26. Next to that, was displayed the external temperature: 60. When I got out to get into the office I actually shivered. Hot damn, I shivered! A 40 degree swing (dip) in temperature meant living was […]

In a press release from the ‘Your Child? coalition, I read: ‘One in four parents in the Great Lakes region don’t make time to get involved […]

You know and I know gas prices in these parts are, well, in a word sucky. According to AAA.com, the statewide average cost for a Michigan gallon of gas in January 2007 was $2.11 (ah, the good ol? days). By the end of February the cost had crept up to $2.307 per gallon (still palatable). […]

As I write, I can see green spots. Let me stop you right there . . . no, the green spots are not related to pink elephants. But, now that I have your curiosity piqued, let me continue. As a modern man (notice I did not say metro-sexual man, which is another type of modern […]
A quick look on-line and I found in 1907 Oklahoma became the 46th state in the Union after the Indian and Oklahoma territories were merged. I discovered the United States proclaimed to be protector of the Dominican Republic and invaded Honduras. That year, the Detroit Tigers lost the World Series to the Chicago Cubs, four […]
