Happy Birthday, America!

- The Alabama summer is a force to be reckoned with. The jungle-like humidity reminds of Paraguay, and the grass, weeds and other plants grow like no one’s business. I have particularly found that mowing the lawn on a hot Southern day can seem to be an unpleasant out-of-body experience, or even some sort of cruel nightmare. In the end though, it is nice to see the rows of a nicely-trimmed lawn.

- Car salespeople are interesting folks. They usually have a talent for drawing you in to the alluring aura of the vehicle and how you oh so desperately need it (to be fair, sometimes they’re right). In most cases though I have found them to be less pushy and more genuine than their stereotype proports them to be. Having said this, I highly recommend Honda’s Odyssey van. It is one awesome vehicle, and these days you can find one loaded full of amazing little gadgets for much less than they were even a couple of years ago!

- When people get even a little bit of authority or other form of power over others (even in the most trivial forms), it does not seem to take long for many to be captured by their own assumed awesomeness. Online message board moderators come to my mind specifically and a number of examples I have seen over the years. Not everyone is immature about this though, and I cannot think of any terrible or specific instances to share at the moment, but they are there!

- When was the last time you had your car detailed? A good detail job (wash, wax, polish, buff, interior cleaning, etc.) should be done at least once a year to keep your vehicle in great shape. There is nothing quite like a car that sparkles. It is also a good thought to get one done before attempting to trade your car in, as it may gain you a few trade-in dollars.

    This is Nigel’s niece saying he is very smart, funny, cute and cuddly. He likes to watch Star Trek, and he talks about it a lot too. He likes animals, hanging out with family & friends, sleeping, and is a computer nerd. But I love him! Hope you all enjoy his website and read all his posts.
