Van Halen concert review, Kool & The Gang and Billy Mack

The new Van Halen release is very good. I reviewed A Different Kind of Truth recently and the songs are surprisingly hard and well crafted. I also commented that there was no way I was paying more than $150 to see anybody in concert. Thankfully, my fabulous wife came through and won us some tickets!

Milton area Boy Scouts conduct paint recycling on Feb 11

If you have a house you have cans of paint. If you have a garage you have more cans of paint. Recently I straightened up the garage, put up some wall hangers for the bigger tools and got as much stuff off of the floor as possible. During this process I found-and properly disposed of 15 cans of paint. Continue reading Milton area Boy Scouts conduct paint recycling on Feb 11

Free Prostate Screenings this Weekend in Atlanta

After much procrastination I finally got my physical, PSA test and prostate screening done the other week. A couple of years ago I drove north about 30 minutes to receive a free prostate screening. It was a cold, rainy day, there was a small line and I was lazy, so I left and waited three years to get a prostate screening. Continue reading Free Prostate Screenings this Weekend in Atlanta

The ‘slave math lesson’ in Georgia and what’s missing

In Norcross, Georgia a government (public) school issued math homework to some of the third graders. Unfortunately some of these word problems incorporated slavery lessons that they were being taught about in social studies. “If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in 1 week”, is an example that the kids took home with them.
