Bob and Margaret
Bob and Margaret is an adult animated program about a dentist and a podiatrist and their fur babies and their everyday lives and goings on in a London suburb. It is zany misadventures of being married in the United Kingdom and everywhere else for that matter. The sitcom starts off in England and then ends up in Canada when Bob and Margaret and their fur babies have to flee from England because of a misunderstanding that left them off to become social pariahs. They go to Canada because they have family there who agree to take them into their home.

Tinkertown's Carnival World:
By Brian D'Ambrosio Tucked into the ponderosa pines of the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Tinkertown Museum is a hand-built labyrinth of imagination, humor, and eccentricity. More than a roadside attraction, it is a folk-art environment—part carnival, part curiosity cabinet, and part autobiography—created by one man with an inexhaustible drive to turn ordinary junk into wonder. That man was Ross J. Ward, a carnival painter, sculptor, and tinkerer whose restless creativity produced one of the most enchantingly eccentric places in America.

American Motels vs. Hotels
If you ask most Americans today what the difference is between a motel and a hotel, you’ll likely get a shrug. “They’re the same thing, right? One is just cheaper?” No, not quite. The difference between a motel and a hotel isn’t just about price or star ratings. It’s about how America moved, how it paused, and how it learned to travel.

10 Times Tourists Completely Ruined Priceless History
There’s something magnetic about ancient architecture and historic artifacts. Whether it’s a crumbling amphitheater, a sacred temple high in the mountains, or a centuries-old painting in a quiet chapel, we’re drawn to these places. Maybe it’s the mystery. Maybe it’s the legends. Maybe it’s the simple realization that these structures have survived hundreds, sometimes thousands of years.

Keeping up Appearances
One saturday night i was watching PBS for their British comedy show block that they used to air and I discovered a great sitcom called "Keeping Up Appearances" that I grew to love and any time I saw it was on I never missed the chance to watch it. The plot is simple Hyacinth wants to be high society and goes on ridiculous hijinks and shinanigans to finally be a member of high society and drives all those crazy with her plans and schemes. The show had lasted for many seasons then went off of the air and then had been brought back for a revival in the mid 90's.

Six Flags Great Adventure
Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey is the first water park and amusement park that I had ever went to. Years later when I graduated from highschool for our senior trip six flags in Boston was one of the places on our senior trip itinerary. We went to the land of Looney Tunes at this one particular Six Flags and Six Flags was always fun the two times that i had ever went there at different locations, of course. Six Flags great adventure is known for their awesome roller coasters and they are killer coasters and everything else is cool. If you ever have the chance to go to Six Flags I suggest that you do.

Jerry Orbach, rest in peace. New York pride.
Jerry Orbach was a true New Yorker. Jerry is one of my favorite actors and my favorite police officer. May Jerry Orbach rest in peace. He was a landmark of New York life until his passing, and whoever declared that made an excellent decision. I heard that when this great man and actor passed away, he had donated his eyes. Some of my favorite acting roles of Jerry Orbach are Lennie Briscoe from Law & Order, Lumière from the classic Disney film Beauty and the and Jerry even had an episode in the classic 1980s horror series "Tales from the Darkside." In the movie "Dirty Dancing," Jerry Orbach's role as Baby's father is my absolute favorite of all his roles.

Speakers Corner
Speakers Corner in London is another cultural note and place of interest that I had discovered in the United Kingdom. Of all the places and ways to learn about it was from one of my favourite shows "Married With Children". They had Al and the rest of the Bundy family go the Speakers corner. It was perfect to have Al speak at Speakers corner because the corner anyone can go there and speak about whatever is bothering them or that has been on their minds. Whoever was on the MWC writing staff that decided to have Al go to Speakers corner is a genius.

Iron Lighthouse - Coastal Series: Part II (Oregon)
Oregon’s coast does not soften you on the way in. It tightens first. Trees crowd the road. The sky lowers its voice. The Pacific appears in fragments, between bends, through breaks in spruce and hemlock, across headlands that seem to rise only to block your view again. If Washington’s coast teaches patience, Oregon’s teaches commitment.
