They had a pair of Merrell hiking boots with just the printed red tag for $29.99. I quickly checked my phone. REI had the same boots…

Back in 2004, a friend and I went to the Czech Republic for 6 months for work. So we each had two large suitcases. And we were staying in a hostel for 4 nights in Prague.

The Pine Barrens are very pleasant to ride a bicycle through. They are mostly flat with a slight decline going toward the ocean. And the tall trees provide nice shade. However, yyou have to be on the lookout for the Jersey Devil. You don’t need to be faster than him. You just need to be able to pedal faster than t…

I live in Philadelphia. Our big summer concert venue is in Camden,NJ. It is secret. But there are heaps of guys who work in offices and rent pick up trucks to attend country concerts. You can spot them in the parking lots. Usually a bright red Ford F-150 with 3 or 4 magnets on it. Nobody who knows anything about pi…
