Well, we’ve been back in Boise for a little over two weeks now and as always it is a dual edge sword that cuts both ways. Whether you are on vacation or visiting family it is always nice to come home. That has absolutely nothing to do with location though, it’s just about having your … More Back in Boise
Yeah, I know, I took another long break. But I had a good reason, I swear! What had happened was…. …actually life happened. We just got plain busy with house projects and work, you know…..life. Not to mention that I am continuing my education, did I not mention that before? No? Well now you know … More Unpause, Break’s Over!
Below is Part 2 of our “Flying to America” adventure. You can find Part 1 here When arriving in the good ol US of A from a foreign country, the traveler often has the good fortune to be flying further into the country than the International Airport at which he/she initially lands.

This I found at an Autobahn gas station. I would have never thought that a magazine stand could represent a cultural attitude…….. but you would never see Playboy just chillin next to Cosmopolitan anywhere in America. Especially not without that magical plastic bag to hide the big, bad boobies that would singlehandedly destroy the moral … More Things You Don’t See in America #6
3 days, 6 movers, 11 crates, 342 packages, and 12,647 pounds. That’s what it takes to pack up our worldly possessions for their nice little trip to America. Toys, office supplies, dishes, pots, pans, TVs, couches, chairs, clothes, towels, beds, and so on and so on. And all of it packed tetris style into those … More By The Numbers (Moving Update #3)
My wife’s VISA is here already! It actually got here on Friday, but I haven’t had the time to post an update. Two days is pretty fast though, especially when they said a week or two. That being said I do have a f aux pah of epic proportions to report. It is something that … More Mailmen Cause Identity Theft (Green Card Update #3)
Here is an interesting billboard for Cell Phone Repair we found in Koblenz that is funny no matter what language you speak. I am not sure what the censors would get more worked up about……. ……too much boob, the thong, or the cell phone in a butt! *”Handy im Arsch?” literally translates to “Cell phone … More Things You Don’t See In America #5
It’s official, my wife is now 100% approved for a VISA/Green Card. Believe it or not, they are actually going to let her stay in the country longer than your average tourist! Unbelievable. And now that I am done teasing my wife I am going to channel the great Paul Harvey and give you…….the rest … More Uncle Sam Approved! (Green Card Update #2)
