Take a very close look at this graphic prepared by the Department of Energy: Now tell me… who is gouging the consumer? Only 18% of the cost of a gallon of gas is even related to the refiner… and it includes their profit AND cost. The government, which has no part in the acquiring, refining,…
Man, I love Rock Band, but come on – I paid about $200 for my REAL Stratocaster! They’re exactly what you think they are: actual Fender Squire axes turned into Rock Band 2 controllers, with the size, heft, and weight you’d expect from dad’s electric guitar. Of special note was the Precision Bass controller, which…
Do you believe politicians when they say they’re making changes “for the children”? Think again. Our children face a future of rising taxes, squeezed — and perhaps falling — public services, and aging — perhaps deteriorating — public infrastructure (roads, sewers, transit systems).

I was just finishing up hanging new blinds in Ariella’s room, when out the window I saw a complete semicircular double rainbow! We have an excellent vantage point for these types of things. This is the second time since we moved here (not quite three years ago) that we’ve seen one of these. Hey –…

Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
