Businesses “Like” Facebook.

Love or Hate Facebook, it is great way for businesses to connect with people.

I’m asked a lot of questions about Facebook. Here is one I asked myself, “How can we put a Facebook Like button on our web sites?”

I encourage you to ask yourself the same question, and to listen to how I answered myself. ~:-) Read more

No geese honking overhead. No neighbors mowing yet or even out walking their dogs. Perhaps everyone is sleeping in to catch up on their rest.

It’s a good day for that. It’s 8:15 on a quiet Saturday morning.

Art has influence!

From the cave paintings of Lescaux France… to the Sidewalks of New York today, artists have expressed their humanity, their culture. Artistic character, fear and passions can all be illustrated in mediums. From the graphic of a line drawing to the color and texture of a wall- size mural. Visual art can influence as well as decorate our environment and color and design can crystallize our emotions!

Artistic license has no boundaries other than those society sets for it, or imposes, given how threatened it feels.

The Shredder

A young executive is working late one evening. As he comes out of his office about 8 p.m., he sees the big boss standing by the shredder in the hallway, a piece of paper in his hand.

“Do you know how to work this thing?” the older man asks. “My secretary’s gone home and I don’t know how to run it.”

“Yes, sir,” says the young executive, who turns on the machine, takes the paper and feeds it in.

My first Car

September 1, 2010 by Valley Bugler · Leave a Comment 

Looking back over my life, I can’t say that I can remember with clarity all the cars that I have ever had, but I do remember my first car. For many of us a first car is a life changing event.

I was seventeen, I was starting my senior year.  In my mind, I was sure that I would soon be the oldest High School Senior in the entire world that didn’t have a car.

From the Editor’s Desk - September 2010

It just doesn’t seem right that the schools are starting up again. Especially not with the “un-summer” that we experienced this year! You all know what I am talking about, because I’ve heard you say it!

To look on the bright side, at least we were able to experience days on end of beautiful sunny weather (after 2pm) and the gardens finally started producing, although later than normal. Read more
