Broccoli really?

Scientific research indicates that broccoli helps strength the brain. The brain uses more calories than any other organ in our body. What we eat can have a big impact on our brain. And one of the biggest foods to do that is "Broccoli" really.

Why are Los Angeles fire officials hesitant to use ocean water to put out flames?
1. It corrodes fire equipment
2. Its harmful to the environment.
3. Burn brush and trees do not grow back healthy.

Chances we need to take to save lives, and property.

At long last, the FDA is ending the use of "Red 3" being illegal for use in lipstick, but perfectly legal to feed to children in the form of candy,” Red #3 has been linked to cancer in rats. FDA has given the industry until 2027 to comply. What?

Regular Folk

Well almost, its an artist rendition of a typical American tourist. Don't we look harmless. Do you see an "Ugly American". "Ugly American" is a stereotype depicting American citizens as exhibiting loud, arrogant, self-absorb bigots. Who said that?

Breath in the freshness

Not far from home in the higher elevations there is "pine tree heaven". Fresh air, and rejuvenation. Take moment and appreciate the beauty of nature.

DMV nightmare, not!

Here I was dreading the Calif. DMV license renewal. Appointments were more than a month away from my license expiring. I did a "walk-in", and I was in and out in minutes. Wow what a relief. To me DMV is like "shopping at Walmart". The dregs of society abound.

Where's the roof cover
Why play NFL football in these horrific conditions. You can't see the field, you can't see the ball. You guessing where the ball is placed. Fans are freezing. Potential injuries, what could go wrong? Niners lost 35-10
