A Thought On Road Signs
We just returned from vacation in upstate New York. One thing I notice every time that I take a long trip is that sometimes the signs are poorly placed. On major highways you’ll often see signs a mile or so ahead of time alerting you to food, gas and lodging. But what isn’t always clear [...]

I think that there is more focus and attention on the census this year than there was ten years ago. Yes that’s right, it’s been [...]
Time To Get The Ring Looked At
