    Nascar fantasy racing is really fun. This was a fun racing season. Congratulations on your win Ozzy. Thanks for inviting all of us back next season. That was one hard charge VFT guy put on the last six races. Close but no cigar. I hope you all come back next year and we can gang up on Ozzy...

    terrarium photos.

    My cousin in Mooresville, NC, the new home of Petty Racing Enterprises, is setting up a 40 gallon terrarium tank for her three kids. They have a breeding pair of anoles, a small turtle and a couple of skinks. I gave them some fly traps, drosera and a small pitcher plant that I thought they...

    gator 1- bad guy 0

    I agree with you Ozzy. Some people may consider it "cruel and unusual" punishment but I prefer to look it as plain old stupidity. There was a sign. The guy chose to jump into the water. The gator was hungry. Oops! Miccosukee Indian police are checking to see which gator was the attacker. It...

    American contributions

    The U.S. dollar, even though it is technically illegal in Cuba, is highly valued and used extensively in blackmarket transactions. As far as Europe, it is readily accepted but it is simply easier to change dollars into Euros since most vendors do not have access to dollars to give you change...

    American contributions

    I threw NASCAR in the list as a joke but the more I think about it, it is a viable American export, as are the NFL, NBA, and baseball. Bourbon is very definitely an American product and its' primary ingriedent is native to The Americas. These are great choices for the list that I did not think...
