Go Here: Button King Museum in South Carolina

For Dalton Stevens, it all started with a case of insomnia. Dalton — 53-years-old at the time — couldn’t sleep.

Mimi — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 13:15:25 +0000

Today is Drowsy Driving Awareness Day. What do you do to stay awake when you are driving tired? Just traveling across town is enough time for me to get drowsy. I like to eat sunflower seeds to stay awake. Other folks in the office like crunching ice, chewing gum, play music super loud, singing, rolling [...]

Smartphones Will Make Airport Check-In Desks Obsolete

Aaron on Air — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:48:40 +0000

Smartphones have changed so much about how we live our lives and conduct our business. And, according to futurists, among the many other things the smartphone will change in the near future will be airport check-ins. Instead of having to stand in line, waiting for a ticket agent, smartphones will take care of it all, [...]

You Won't Believe What the TSA Confiscated in 2011

Aaron on Air — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:45:35 +0000

We haven’t heard anything from the TSA about how many actual terrorist plots it prevented in 2011. In fact, we have no real report on how much safer it was to fly around the country in 2011 because of the efforts of our favorite, invasive security agency. What we do have, though, is a list [...]

Man Endures Seven-Hour Flight While Standing, Obese Passenger Took Up His Seat

Aaron on Air — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 22:33:52 +0000

In the past year or so, several airlines have made headlines for insisting obese passengers buy two seats to accommodate their size and avoid infringing on the space occupied by others.

Power 95.9 Beaches Boscobel Broadcast – Day 2 Sponsored by Texarkana Eye Associates

KPWW- Power 95.9 — Thu, 05 May 2011 17:28:25 +0000

Our first excursion during our stay at the Beaches Boscobel Luxury Included Resort and Golf Club was a catamaran cruise on the beautiful and exciting oceans after a morning full of "liquid sunshine."

The highlight of the cruise was lying on the "trampoline" on the front, a series of criss-crossed ribbons that form a webbing with nothing but ocean several feet beneath, and being splashed as the catamaran crested the waves. We also stopped for a while to swim in the ocean, which was surprisingly warm, and even found a starfish and several sea urchins by diving down to the bottom. On the short ride back to the resort, the crew taught us some Jamaican dancing, and the DJ mixed in a few fun American songs for us to enjoy.
