Only in Northern Michigan and Closing Pet Stores- An idea whose time has come....And what about that Metric System that you teachers so forcefully touted....

Cash for Appliances Still Going on in Cadillac
They say more people are coming in to buy dishwashers, washers and dryers and refrigerators that save energy....

That explains the dishwasher I saw on the side of the road with the hobo sack and the thumb out....

Thank you Xig for this interesting article.

Closing Pet Shops: No longer "How Much is that Doggie in the window?"...Because he doesn't have a waggily tail he has two of them- caused by inbreeding, and four ears- which is kind of disheartening....

I think it's a great idea to ban pet stores....Why a pet store? Go to a shelter or find a breeder in your area online or at your local veterinary office.

I-19 is in midst of metric muddle

I-19 may be the only interstate in the USA to use kilometers on such signs along its entire length. The U.S. Metric Association, a group that supports U.S. adoption of the metric system, says other border areas, north and south, often add metric signs on segments of their roads to accommodate visitors.

Long sections of I-89 in Vermont near the Canadian border, for example, use kilometers. Signs on sections of highway in California, Tennessee, Connecticut and other states have used miles and kilometers.

Arizona is considering converting the signs to miles — a move that is stirring as much controversy as the signs have caused for more than 30 years.

This is what I'm talking about, Mrs. Johnson, my fifth grade teacher....If that is your real name...
