November 28, 2014: Don’t Inhale
Just a couple of miles from my job and home, there was a huge fire last week. The smoke is still lingering, depending on which way the wind is blowing, and at work it gets inside and everyone's been coughing for days. I'm ready for it to pass.
Black Friday Music Day
While the rest of you are with friends and family celebrating, some of us irregular internet columnists are working hard to open our Friday columns early on Thursday evening with great deals on random tens. If you submit your random ten between when this column opens and 10pm CST, you get a second bonus random ten* -- at no cost -- just come back on Friday after 7am to redeem it.
Now that's something to be thankful for!
