Headlines include, unemployment rate 3.7% nationwide, about 2% higher in our area, but still very low. Jobs are available for those interested in working.

Lets hope that does not happen this time.

I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think, “Well, that’s not going to happen.”
Money talks. But all mine ever says is goodbye.
The problem isn’t that obesity runs in your family. The problem is no one runs in your family.
