Liz’s rant: Liger on the loose
Leave it to the hometown of both Kate and I, where Cynthiana has made the news with its own version of Big Foot. That’s right. In Cynthiana, KY, the county seat of Harrison, there is a critter that is yet to be identified. Some say it’s a lion or bobcat – maybe even a cougar or tiger, and have named it a liger, playing off the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Others wonder if it’s just an over-sized … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: The return to the era of the Flintstones
Just when I think I’ve seen it all, I have to confess I was wrong. Seems some professor has engineered (using the term loosely) a new human-powered car. That’s right, a crank-and-go vehicle that resembles a cross between something from the town of Bedrock and oh, I don’t know… a centipede. Assuming you have four people in it, cranking away as needed, you should be able to avoid being rear-ended, reaching speeds as high as 60 … Read entire article »

Kate goes on an adventure –
Guy Fieri style (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives)
I confess to being a fan of the Food Network show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. Really, who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned, high-fat, carb-laden meal from a hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon diner once in a while? A few months ago while on our family vacation, we took a day off from Disneyland to slow down with a relaxing trip to Ventura, California. When lunchtime came, much to my family’s chagrin I steered them past … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: Have a seat…
There seems to be a growing phenomenon in my city – one that highly disturbs me, quite frankly. What is this new fad that has my head spinning? Outside furniture. No, I’m not talking about a nice patio set or a pair of wooden rocking chairs gracing the deck or porch. I’m talking about furniture that’s outside. As in upholstered furniture. As in it belongs in the living room or family room, people! Picture this oddity that … Read entire article »

Get your party on: 8/15-8/21
Let’s jump right in to this week’s holidays with August 15, which heralds National Relaxation Day. Again, the term “national” should give you an indication of just how serious they are about this one. I wonder if relaxation in the 21st century may sound easier than it actually is. It’s my experience that even when I’m relaxing, the wheels of my mind continue to spin. I suspect it’s fairly rare that I achieve a … Read entire article »
