Autumn & Jerry

2010 was one of the warmest years on record, tying with 2005. Check out this photo gallery chronicling the biggest climate impacts of 2010, including the gulf oil spill and countless other weather anomalies. These events should remind of us the importance in doing our part – recycle, support clean energy, and educate yourself on [...]

Personally, the holidays seem to fly by in a magic flash starting back at Halloween, but especially between Thanksgiving & Christmas! Before we know it, 2010 will be celebrating its finale and 2011 will be here. Every single year I say I’m going to slow down and try to enjoy every moment more than the [...]

I think this is the hottest June of my life. It is not unusual to have scorcher days in July & August, but this is becoming the new norm. Everyday holds a heat index of 100-plus-degrees, and the summer has really just begun! Already, a good family friend of mine who works outdoors has been [...]

I truly baffles me that we cannot band together as Americans and bring change to our scandalously broken health care system, namely from the health insurance aspect. I am covered by not one, but TWO insurance companies, and neither one will pay for my routine physician visit from last fall. Seriously? I swear the only [...]
