Sports & Recreation > NASCAR Why NASCAR is so popular
4 of 13

Being middle aged and a native North Carolinian, I have seen up close the staggering rise of NASCAR's popularity. And I still don't get it. More people are drivers now than say, 1969, and there are more cars, vastly more, on the highways. So is it simply a weird corollary to the law of averages at work here driving (no pun in... More..

Food & Drink > Seafood The difference between cod and scrod
3 of 6

I love fish and have never known how complex the system for naming fishes and animals...really how complicated the English language could be, until I looked up scod and cod in my Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition). If you're like me, one thing leads to another, sort of like using google, and I always run ... More..

Sports & Recreation > Hiking & Backpacking What to do if attacked by a bear
6 of 11

There is the story of the poor fellow who pulled out a laminated sheet explaining what to do if attacked by a bear...while being attacked. Both were quickly eaten and this story was only broken when pieces of the lamination were found in the bear's scat miles from the attack site. For this reason I will be brief in my do's a... More..

Jobs & Careers > Getting Ahead Advance your career: Tips to help you stand out at work
24 of 40

Having worked at a convenience store/gas station for many years one might think it odd I have something to say about how to stand out at work. I generally am left on my own so co- worker problems are negligible. The boss is often unavailable and only looks in for banking affairs or emergencies. However, there are ways to mak... More..

Jobs & Careers > Trade & Manufacturing Jobs Interesting facts about landscaping jobs
5 of 7

I have been an interesting fact about landscaping jobs for the past several years. Yes, you read that right. It is I who has been a fact, most interesting, in the field of immediate medical emergency care, by way of landscaping. You see, I began to mow and rake and trim and blow and lop and prune and bag and burn to earn som... More..

Jobs & Careers > Occupations (Other) Top 10 careers in the 21st century
5 of 6

It is asking a lot of this prognosticator to name the 10 top careers in the 21st century. The pace of change is so fast that predicting much of anything in the next quarter century remains dubious, let alone 100 years. But I will make a stab at it and write yet one more article outside my area of expertise in a vain quest fo... More..

Sports & Recreation > Golf Golf tips: Choosing the right golf clubs on the course
6 of 7

I have finally found a topic that I speaks to me: golf, and all the permutations thereof. I have been playing this agonizing game since the age of 9, which may indicate some mental illness, but that is another topic that we dare not broach at this juncture. There are no shortages of details to the old game and it seems the m... More..

Health & Fitness > Exercise Tips How to get a good workout without running
32 of 32

Having suffered through several long term injuries and compounded by 30 years of mechanical inefficiencies, I have been forced off the road to marathon completion once again. Yet I have maintained a healthy appetite for endorphins inducing activity and have used a lot of my time trying to match that offered of long distance ... More..

Relationships & Family > Successful Dating Dating tips for senior citizens
12 of 12

I am a happily married man of 51 so dating tips and seniors may not be my bailiwick(well maybe the senior part) but I couldn't resist the urge to comment on the comedic properties when you combine these innately funny yet uncomfortable subjects. I will give a short scenario of such a 'date' and then give some serious comment... More..

Pets & Animals > Birds How to build a mealworm feeder
5 of 5

Where to start? There are so many ways to build a mealworm feeder that the novice will be at sea unless some reliable guidance is proffered at once. After many fits and starts, I eventually gravitated to the classic sandy, granulated mound popularized by none other than one Henry David Thoreau. Once he vacated Walden Pond, T... More..
