I remember when flying was considered a luxury and airlines catered to their passengers with all types of services... Full meals, with a choice of entree, free coffee, juice and soft drinks, snacks, magazines, newspapers, blankets and pillows... In first class, you sat in wide leather seats, were served your food on china, plied with free alcoholic beverages and given hot towels to clean your hands... Most of these services were free, but they have been phased out, one at a time... Well, now you may carry your own blanket, pillow and foot warmer, no matter what your mode of travel... When ready to use, just unwrap your Cabin Cuddler , place your feet in the blanket pocket, wrap the cuddler around your body like a coat and you will be warm and cozy... The reversible tote bag turns into a hygienic pillowcase for the inflatable pillow... Blow up the pillow and use it to support your neck, the small of your back or your head... … View Post »

My mother, father and older brother and sister were born in New York City... I was the first native born Texan in my family... The first time we visited New York City, I was only five years old and remember being cold, ill, and wondering how Santa Claus was going to find us in a motel in New Jersey... Growing up within a nuclear family means you miss family reunions, Christmas at Grandma s and having a safe place to go when you need it... One tour gave us a ticket to the Metropolitan Museum of Art , but my mom did not like museums, so I went on my own... On the way, I met some young people and found out about all the things to do in New York ... … View Post »

This is a true story that happened to a friend of mine who will remain nameless... On April 24, 2008, I stopped at a Exxon gas station, located at Balcones Drive and Parkcrest Street , Austin , Texas my truck s gas gauge was on 1/4 of a tank... When my tank is at this point, it takes somewhere around 14 gallons to fill it up... I went on my way a little confused, then on the evening news, I heard a report that 1 out of 4 gas stations had calibrated their pumps to show more gas had been pumped than a person actually got... Here is how to check a pump to see if you are getting the right amount: Whichever grade you are using, put EXACTLY 10 GALLONS in your tank, then look at the dollar amount, if the dollar amount is not EXACTLY 10 times the price of the fuel you have chosen, then the pumps are rigged... In my case as I said the mid-grade was $3.71 9/10 per gallon, my dollar amount for 10 gallons should have been $37.19... If you do find a station that is cheating, contact the Texas Department of Agriculture, and direct your comments to Todd Staples, Commissioner (512-463-7476)... In other states contact proper authorities... … View Post »
