Internet Problems May Cause Delays

The internet was down here at the offices all morning, and when if finally did get back up, you know I had to check my Myspace (and Spyspace) for at least an hour. Therefore if this news update isn’t up to average, get over it. Don’t You Just Hate Christmas Songs? If you are one ...

Smoking And Firing

No Smoking, Sports Fans This beast just keeps growing! If you are a smoker you might want to keep a copy of the smoking ban legislature in your back pocket so anytime you feel the urge to light up, you can check to make sure it’s kosher. Today the Plain Dealer gets the low down ...
