Creative and Fun Pothole Artistry
Potholes are annoying and destructive. They can wreck your car’s suspension, distract cyclists and worst of all, running into one can make you spill your latte all over your freshly cleaned suit (been there, done that).
However, like with everything else, some happy do-gooders are making lemons ...

When I was younger, we use to collect bottle caps and play games with them. We used them as Chinese checker pieces. That was the only way we could creatively use bottle caps in those days.

Spring is one of my favorite times of year, and when trout season opens next month, my son and I will be spending a lot of time on the weekends fishing in the little creeks in the North Georgia Mountains.

Coca Cola Goes EcoCoke | The Genius Future Of A Trusted Brand
My last article about Coca Cola's "should be" effort of becoming a more environmentally aware brand was both highly appreciated as well as unlikely according to some of the comments.

Photography | The Last Thing You’ll See Before You Die
After I watched my father die a few years ago, I became fascinated with death for a while. I wondered if he really saw his life pass before his eyes before he died, and if in that brief moment those memories felt good, boring, exhilarating...
