So What’s Growing In Your Office?
Cool things happen to a used coffee filter when you leave it sitting in the coffee maker for about three weeks.

Dumb signs make me laugh. Check out this one I saw in the grocery store a couple days ago: Don’t get me wrong, I like Food Lion and shop there regularly. But since when is $5.29 a “Great Price” for a 12-pack of soda?!? Shouldn’t they be trying to hide the fact that their Coke Continue reading

Sign Progress
Recently I posted the picture shown below, which shows the hole we dug to install the new church sign: We’re making progress! Below is a picture of what it looks like now.
