In fact, quite the opposite is true. If you take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the military installation and the surrounding community, usually there isn’t enough time to get it all done.

Say Chow (or ciao) to those $1,000 fines - (USA)
Baltimore’s $1,000 fine for letting a dog of its leash is, effectively, a thing of the past — if even that. A city council committee yesterday — saying the amended penalty was passed by mistake — approved lowering the fine to $200 on a first offense, and promised that, for all 35 of the $1,000 tickets issued between the beginning of April and May 8, violators will have to pay no more than $200. The new three-tiered fine — $200 for first offense, $400 for a second, $600 for a third — stil

Eight Great Moments of Design at Walt Disney World - (USA)
Because I've been alternatively sick, stressed, distracted or otherwise just sick of Disney I've been out of the writing groove for a while - and probably lost some regulars in the process, sadly, because blogging often favors regular content over valuable content.

Started out with a rousing drum number that got the crowd—well, not exactly roused, but you know, going a bit. There was about
