Americans Increasingly Turning Down Diet Soft Drinks [Poll]
I used to drink Pepsi, regular sugar-filled Pepsi, all the time; from the time I was a young child to my 30's. Then I became more health conscious and began drinking diet sodas. In this way I've been a typical American consumer. Over the past decade, though, diet soda drinking by the American public has been in a type of free-fall and this is of great concern to major industry players like Coca
Birds of a Feather Get Shot Together – if They’re Turkeys
It's just about wild turkey hunting time in the Tri-State, and just like the lyrics that are sung in "Chevy Van," by Sammy Johns, "...and that's all right with me!" Sorry, but I don't like wild turkeys. They are, in my mind, just like deer - a nuisance. They wander around aimlessly with no real purpose, running onto rural roadways and causing automobile accidents. They spre
Work Zone Safety Week in the Evansville Area and Throughout Indiana
Last evening as I was driving home on I-164, I witnessed a scene that reminded me that this is National Work Zone Awareness Week in Evansville and throughout Indiana. The scene, located between the Lloyd Expressway and Morgan Ave. on I-164, depicts the number of highway workers killed this past year while performing their duties. It's purpose is to remind us to slow down and be extra careful in
Tons of Peanut Butter Get Dumped in Landfill
It turned into a sticky situation and I'm glad it didn't happen in Evansville. About 25 tons of peanut butter that was okay for anyone to eat was purposefully dumped into a landfill in Clovis, New Mexico. Why? That's a little complicated.
My Heart is Happy That I’m Married – for Love and for Heart Health
Okay, I could write a book-length testimonial for why I'm married, especially to my wife, Jenny, but the point of this blog is not to gush about my wife (although I'm sure she would like it), it's to point out why being married to someone you truly love is good for your heart. Yes, love can "break" your heart, but it's also apparently one great way to keep your ticker tickin'!
Boonville Will Get It’s Own St. Mary’s Urgent Care Center
St. Mary's will be constructing an urgent care facility along Indiana Highway 62 at the Boonville Wal-Mart shopping area. This is good news for everyone who lives around the Boonville area, including my family. Boonville is about 15 minutes away from where I live, but Evansville is 45 minutes. That means that medical services are becoming more accessible to us!

Short on Money? Spend it on These Inexpensive Superfoods
All of my adult life, money has never been plentiful. When Jenny and I got married, we decided that even if money was short, we wouldn't skimp on quality food to eat. In other words, we would eat healthy foods even if we had to spend a little more money to get them, and to do that, we would sacrifice in other areas, if need be. It's always been important to us to eat nutritionally-packed foods,
Recipe for Yummy Banana Bread Made From Leftover Bananas
Yesterday, I posted a video blog about my not-so-famous "flick of the wrist" way to open bananas. So today I thought that I would pass along to you a banana bread recipe, just in can you ever have left over bananas that are turning brown, soft and squishy. Here's a recipe that Jenny uses to make yummy banana bread. Try it!
Cat Bites Can Cost You and Cause a Small Cat-astrophe
Okay, so puns aside, a cat bite on your hand is something you normally shrug off and don't think about, outside of the irritation while it heals. Heck, I have a cat and play with her all of the time. Yes, I let her bite my hands because I know that she's just playing. Unfortunately, there's evidence to support that this is exactly what you don't want due to bacteria that can get transferred fro
