  • Malaria in the wild again in the US

     The feds are trying to blame an increase in international travel for localized cases of malaria in Florida and Texas.   But let’s see, what else does Florida and Texas have a bunch of?

     It looks like the airport worker in Texas who was ‘ingested’ into the engine on a jet threw himself in there on purpose to commit suicide. “This isn’t the first time David has tried something like this from my knowledge,” David’s brother, Joshua, told the Daily Mail. “There were other times.

I’m presuming that, because of the above work with the government, she is now going to be sitting… Continue reading

  • It's never that simple

     The place where I live just got fiber internet.  I had a T-Mobile box which worked great, but fiber is better. So I call T-Mobile to cancel my account. I’m told that it was canceled and that I just needed to take the box to the nearest T-Mobile store. So I head into town and… Continue reading
