Happy New Year everyone! As I sit here planning my winter vacation, something just occurred to me. There is something very important happening this year that has been in the works for many years. The government had postponed the implementation of the Real ID law pertaining to aircraft, because of the pandemic. As of May 7, 2025, you must have a Real ID in order to board a domestic flight here in the United States. Up until now, you have been able to use a standard drivers license to board your flight. Considering there could be extended wait times to receive your Real ID (if you don’t already have one) you should apply for yours as soon as possible if you plan on flying this year.

I remember when Street View first became a thing, people got nervous because they thought it would be an invasion of […]

Oscars
The 97th Academy Awards were held in Hollywood last night. The glitz, the glamour, the blahhhhhh… I’ve long adored Hollywood. At one time, I even imagined myself being an actor. They say you’ll never truly realize your dreams unless you attempt to make them come true. Then I realized my radio-friendly face wouldn’t jive with […]

It Finally Happened
Well, it finally happened. These ridiculously high egg prices have finally caught up with me. If you don’t know, I am a big consumer of eggs. I’ve said for many years how I believe eggs are the world’s perfect food. High in protein, low in price. What could be better than that? Well, they are […]
