Last week, our village celebrated its annual fair in honor of St. Peter, our patron saint. The event was a blast, especially the beauty pageant. With over 3,000 residents, only four young ladies were brave enough to participate. One seemed so reluctant, it was like her parents forced her into it. My boyfriend (BF) was […]

Ever since Detroit declared bankruptcy, I started wondering if things might get better for the city or if it’s destined to face ongoing economic struggles.

My trusty Asus Eeepc had been with me for three years, surviving over 60,000 miles on motorcycle panniers, enduring all sorts of harsh conditions.
