• Definitely no yacht race.

  By Margo Vaughn CREATED Apr. 30, 2012

  I dropped by the post office last Thursday to pick up a few stamps. I'm in line for 20 minutes, which for some would be a long time. It was worth it as I was entertained by a man who's seen more than 7 decades of life.

  By Margo Vaughn CREATED Apr. 27, 2012

  I saw an info-graph the other day that showed the average cost for a prom in the west was nearly $800. That is for a limo ride, dinner, flowers, tux and dress. WOW!

• "USB Kidding me" The feel of the old keyboard with digital capabilities.

  By Margo Vaughn CREATED Apr. 26, 2012

  I love typing on an old typewriter. There's something about the movement of the keys. It's the difference between playing the piano on a stringed instrument and an electronic keyboard. Just not the same. I prefer the strings and I thought I preferred the ribbon to the bytes. But then I saw this

• College interest rates, Slow Jammin, and the U of I.

  By Margo Vaughn CREATED Apr. 25, 2012

  I remember when I went to college, I had had a job since I was in the 8th grade at the Salmon River Inn. I started out bussing tables, then I got the waitress job. I worked 3 nights a week until 9. I would get out of school at 3 and go to my job. I was 16. I did that for two years. I also worked part time at the local radio station.

• Graham crackers were introduced to suppress sexual urges.

  By Margo Vaughn CREATED Apr. 18, 2012

  News this morning: From the Wall Street Journal ......They say people are afraid to order menu items they can't pronounce. For example they say Olive Garden finally added the description of gnocchi to thier menu and the sale of the traditional Italian dumplings too off. Turns out Tracy always thought gnocchi was that little wooden guy that wanted to be a real boy, really listen here.

• Ah, yes the smell of spring and Pickle Butte

  By Margo Vaughn CREATED Apr. 16, 2012

  Spring is definitely in the air......The Capital City market opens Saturday and the Race to Robie Creek, also Saturday. Tracy's looking forward to planting tomatoes. He's watching Pickle Butte for the snow to melt. While the rest of us are watching Schafer Butte. Okay, since we corrected him he claims now his favorite thing about spring is when Pickle Butte starts smelling, that when he can wear shorts. Yea, we call him the Farmer's Almanac of Canyon County.

• Wise cracks and hot dog stuffed pizza.

  By Margo Vaughn CREATED Apr. 12, 2012

  "I got nothin' " it's a phrase Tracy and I use when we zing each other and the other one has no comic response. I've noticed lately too that if I throw a zinger at Tracy while he's got his nose buried in his smart phone it goes without a witty reaction. I get points if Carl's in the room and he hears it. No points if Carl's out of the studio. So question is if Margo makes a wisecrack and Tracy's on his smart phone and doesn't hear it, does the tree still fall in the woods?

• From Toxic nailpolish to Instagram - The need for filters for cameras and your body.

  By Margo Vaughn CREATED Apr. 10, 2012

  Did you hear about this.....California regulators have found some nail polishes used and sold in salons that are advertised as free of a so-called ``toxic trio'' of chemicals have high levels of agents known to cause birth defects. I think about all the things I use on my body which all goes through my liver to filter out the bad stuff. Too much bad stuff and my liver needs a liver to pre-filter.

• The Master's golf tournament, discriminating and Noah's ark.

  By Margo Vaughn CREATED Apr. 5, 2012

  It's the start of the Master's Golf Tournament. It's a golf event held at the all men's club in Augusta. However there's a problem this year as the club has always made the CEO's of the major sponsors members. The CEO of IBM: Ginni Rometty one of 12 female CEO's in the Fortune 500. It was IBM that pressured golf clubs to end discrimination and allow black members in 1990. Yes. 1990, not 1890 or 1960, amazing. So I got to thinking how I discriminate and what does the word mean. So I went searching. It's from a Latin term meaning to divide. Now when it isn't referring to human beings discriminating can helpful. I descriminate smells dividing them into pleasant and more like the cat box needs cleaning. I'm descriminating when it comes to music, dividing my work out music on my iPod from the music I listen to while stretching in yoga. I was doing just that to some Pat Metheny Map of the World music when I got so relaxed I just laid on the floor and listened. I actually felt the music tickling my ear hairs. I mean those tiny little ones, oh crap I'm not going to get out of this with any dignity. So to change the subject totally I saw this on the web.....an amazing treehouse.
