Have you ever given it a second thought as to why stubbing your toe hurts so much. I can't say that I ever had but because of Timmothy's cartoon I did 10 minutes of research (twice the time of most of my research. 😊I even found a book on Amazon.The best information I found was by the  Silverman Ankle & Foot blog  If you’re like most people stubbing your big toe or your pinky toe can leave you howling in pain. Why is that? When you stub your toe you’re subjecting your skin, nail and bone to physical trauma. The trauma of a stubbed toe may cause more than surface level pain. You can bruise your nail bed, which can lead to bleeding and compression of areas in your toe.You don’t have much fat or muscle to help protect the toe from injury. Because you won’t find natural padding (fat) on your...

We are hoping for something that resembles Spring up here in the Northland. I woke this morning to 4 degrees and decided it would be another day for thermal long underwear.While Spring doesn't bring an end to the cold season it will bring an end to the c-c-cold season. I'm sure those who struggle with allergies would rather keep the cold but most of us are ready for 50+ temps.This guy might not like the 50's

ActiveRain MeetUp - Caroling in Southern Utah! When I realized that Carol Williams would be passing through St. George, lunch plans and a tee-time were immediately made. Due to the influx of new residents to my selling area, open slots to golf can be 15 -  30 days out. Our golf destination was Southgate Golf Course for a quick 9-holes. The chicken taco's there at the restaurant were the bomb. After being notified we were up, we drove from hole #10 and that's when the hilarious fun began! Caroling at Southgate Golf Course Carol played a total of 43 times over the winter months, It was my first time out this year. She hit the ball straight and true, while I hacked my way into sand traps, the rough, ricocheting the ball off rocks, up and down the rolling hills. We decided to play best ball...

I read on Zero Hedge that Hertz terminated its CEO as a result of his decision to dramatically shift the car rental emphasis over to EVs.  Consumer demand did not warrant the investment in 100,000 Tesla EVs to the Hertz flee in 2022. He then ordered 65,000 Polestar EVs (Sweden) last year.This is an example of corporate America putting its goals ahead of consumer demand.  The CEO, Stephen Scherr performed no market testing and he did not listen to the desires (or lack thereof) of his customers.  He was a longtime Goldman Sachs executive and he should have known better.I rented a Tesla from Hertz  in July of 2022 to drive to California from Las Vegas. The 500 mile roundtrip required 4 charges and a near calamity of almost not reaching a charging station in the California desert.  The car ...

So, you have moved to The Villages, Florida, next you bought a golf cart and of course we need to trick it out.  Maybe some LED lights, new wheels, decals of your favorite sports team and a license plate from your home state on the back.  Some people will get their names painted on the front, husband drivers side, wife passenger side until you both own a cart!  Lady cart an appropriate color with her golf clubs and decorated, manly cart with all the accessories including a cooler of course.Now here is a sometime forgotten feature that is a must!  Sound system, and of course I have one and it is very simple.  Scosche Boom Bottle Mini is my choice as it fits in a cup holder and has great sound.  It works with Bluetooth so just connect to your phone and hit your favorite playlist.  They co...

The 2024 NCAA Men's Tournament Field is Down to 16There are cats and dogs are starring at each other with soaring birds along with some very interested spectators. The end of this week will have some tough battles as the field of 16 fight to reach the final four.All four #1 seeds are still in the battle, no big upsets there. Along with a bunch of single digit seeds. No one higher than a 9 seed, even though there were some teams shocked at their demise. The Blue cats from Kentucky will need time to recover.The 'smart people' are still picking our UConn Huskies to win it all and be only the second repeat winner in this century. There have been some exciting games and very few ones with people tuning away.The regional sites have been very kind to our Huskies with the road to AZ barely leav...
