Of the 6 billion people in the world, 10 percent live on an island. That works out to be about 600 million people, and nearly half of that total, 240 million, live in Indonesia. Indonesia is nothing but islands – 13,667 of them. How do you determine what is and what isn’t an island? In [...]

Clay Moden — Tue, 21 May 2013 11:48:54 +0000

It certainly has been a difficult week so far in many parts of the United States. Even if you were not directly affected by the tornadoes these past couple of days, it is hard not to get emotional about the loss of life and the destruction. Storm prediction is never an exact science because Mother Nature is so random.

Anybody that’s ever gone to a Toronto Blue Jays game at the Rogers Center can’t help but be distracted by the CN Tower next to it. That’s of course assuming the roof of the Rogers Center is open.

Visible on a clear day or night from Lewiston on this side of the border, the CN Tower is the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Very Unusual Tornado Record For Iowa

Dale Mussen — Mon, 20 May 2013 10:00:42 +0000

Up until the outbreak of tornadoes that tore through five Midwestern states on Sunday and Monday morning, Iowa hadn’t recorded a single tornado in almost a year, and that’s very unusual for a state that averages about 35 a year. Before last week’s tornadoes in north Texas that killed six people, this country had recorded [...]

Clay Moden — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:13:47 +0000

I only have witnessed one, and usually you know when someone else does it based on the crazy screaming from the course!

How about 2 times?

Watch Out For Utility Bill Scams

Dale Mussen — Fri, 17 May 2013 09:57:52 +0000

How often do you actually look through your utility bills to verify the charges? You might pay your bill each month and never give it a thought until one day it hits you that your bill is kind of high. Actually very high. Then you compare it with bills from a year ago and it might even be double what you paid before.

White House By The Numbers

Dale Mussen — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:00:10 +0000

Too bad George Washington never got to live there. But he was the one who picked out the site and he oversaw construction. The cornerstone was laid in 1792 and eight years later President John Adams and his wife became the first residents of the White House.

Over the years each President has made changes to suit their own tastes.
