October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM).  We have added a pink ribbon in the sidebar to show our support.  We encourage everyone to pinkify their blog or website for October. And please volunteer at nearby NBCAM events and help make breast cancer a thing of the past.

Happy Independence Day

Saturday, July 4th, 2009 @ 6:40 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

It was 223 years ago today that the United States of America was born. As you go about your business today, please remember the sacrifices of those who helped make this great country or ours the land of the free and the home of the brave. That is what the Fourth of July is really [...]

Happy Easter

Sunday, April 12th, 2009 @ 12:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I know that not everyone who reads this blog is Christian; but I still wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter. We’ll be sending the taxman many thousands to on Wednesday; but life isn’t too bad if that’s the worst of our problems. Today is a good day to pause and reflect on the coming [...]

Happy St. Valentine’s Day

We know that it’s a “man-made” holiday that not everyone celebrates; but we wanted to wish all of the couples that do celebrate it a very happy St. Valentine’s Day! We hope that that you and your love are having a wonderful day.

A Historic Moment

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 @ 10:45 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

We don’t usually post about current events. It generally has to be something extraordinarily good or something extraordinarily bad. Today was a good day in the world. Unlike many countries, we had an orderly change of power with the incoming leader taking the oath of office with his hand on a bible; rather than brandishing [...]

Election Day

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 @ 4:48 am | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

We don’t often get a change to participate in our government but today is one of those days. Regardless of your choice, please make sure to vote today. What we do today (or did the last few weeks if you voted early) is going to have lasting repercussions. The United Sates is at a cross [...]

HNT – 161

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

We don’t typically do any political, even though we live in the real world like everyone else; but with Congress spending cash like it was Monopoly money we just couldn’t resist. So, here are a couple of photographs of us having fun with play money. We only wish the $700 $800B wasn’t real money. For [...]

Happy Independence Day

Friday, July 4th, 2008 @ 12:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

With gasoline over $4/gallon and the economy sputtering along it’s easy to forget how fortunate we are. Freedom isn’t free. Never forget those who gave their all to keep us the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Happy Easter

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 @ 11:30 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I just wanted to take a minute and wish everyone a Happy Easter. It is a Christian Holiday but I think the timing especially this year when it is so close to the start of spring has a special meaning to almost everyone. The taxman cometh soon for a huge check from us; but otherwise, [...]
