We have a free weekly paper here called, ironically enough, The Other Paper - as it’s an alternative to the Dispatch, which has been around since Jesus’ time.
Yes, I still occasionally read a dead tree publication, especially when it doesn’t put all of it’s printed articles online. One such article in the City Beat section of [...]

The plan as they explain it is to charge users who go over a certain limit more as they’re using more of the resources, [...]

So among the many things that have made my world a little more interesting over the past few days, I had to pick up my new glasses tonight. Probably the last pair I’ll ever have that aren’t bifocals (or so the Doc told me). Getting old sucks.

Ok, I may be the dumbest man on earth but I’m probably not alone. “I ain’t Legend” to play off the title of Will Smith’s new movie. Anyhow, here’s what I mean.

This Saturday, if you happen to be lucky enough to be in the Clematis Street area of West Palm Beach, Florida - you can catch the grand opening of Dr. Feelgood’s Bar & Grill, whose owner is none other than Vince Neil of Motley Crue.
