    Beggar needs money for… Helicopter rides??

    Back in the summer, we visited our daughter in New York, and Matthew and I saw this gentleman sitting ‘Pan handling.” Perhaps there is a very good reason why someone would ask for money for a helicopter (oh, wait–“helOcopter”) ride...

    Home Owners Associations:  Democracy or Little Napoleons?

    Liberals Battling? Say it Ain’t So!
