Dumb Name for New Media Service

Posted: 16 Jul 2013 12:25 PM PDT

I was pumping gas the other day and watching one of those TV broadcasts that emanates from a screen attached to the gas pump. God forbid, we spend 45 seconds with our own thoughts. Anyway, when the broadcast stopped, I saw the name of this ingenious service: OutCast. I get it. It’s a broadcast, and [...]

All You Need to Know About the Keystone Pipeline and the Tar Sands

Posted: 16 Jul 2013 10:19 AM PDT

This Scientific American article says it all about the Keystone Pipeline and the Canadian Tar Sands. It’s not a short article, so in case you don’t want to take the time to read it, I will cut to the chase: if we excavate and refine the tar sands, it’s game over for our planet. Any [...]

Lunches at Venerable Boston Eateries

Posted: 11 Jul 2013 11:22 AM PDT

So many historic Boston eateries have closed lately, that I have decided to pre-emptively eat out at several of them before they decide to close. The latest restaurant to announce its demise is Anthony’s Pier 4, a once-popular, once-elegant seafood spot on the harbor. They will close later this summer after 50-plus years in business. [...]

Camping: An Acquired Taste

Posted: 11 Jul 2013 08:29 AM PDT

I’ve never liked camping much. In fact, as a kid, I positively hated it. But over the years as I went camping a few times with experienced campers, I realized it’s not as abhorrent as I’d thought. Then this year, I actually decided to camp a few days of my two-week tour of the American [...]

Hot Flashes No More!

Posted: 08 Jul 2013 07:59 AM PDT

Women, if you’re driven crazy by hot flashes, try the all-natural remedy called Estrotone. I am not being paid to hawk this, but it’s amazing and I want everyone to know about it. You take it with food twice a day and in a few days, the hot flashes become less frequent and then disappear [...]
