Okay...well, the stories didn't happen in the north county. I was just at my folks having a Christmas dinner, with a fever. At one point I went into their huge bathtub and just soaked my body for an hour, trying …
"Open, Open, Open ..."
Do you remember those inane Mervyn's ads from a decade ago? (Note: I don't watch TV, and haven't in about a decade. So I'm going on memory here. Who knows? Maybe those inane ads are still running. I wouldn't doubt …

I was talking to my mom the other day, and she did what she does fairly often. She tells me about a video she saw on America's Funniest Videos, or whatever that show is called. (on a side note...who hosts …

Worthy businesses are few and far between. Which is why, when I come across one, I toot its horn at every available opportunity. The decades-old culture of corporate nonaccountability, greed, wastefulness, and me-firstism has suffused just about everything one sees …
