Last Sunday I stood on a bluff in Santa Monica overlooking the ocean. A dozen sailboats spread across the horizon, enjoying a beautiful Southern California day. Although it’s been years since I sailed, it’s something you don’t forget. Each sailing trip is unique. One time I floated along, almost dozing, as the boat lapped through the water. Another trip, I negotiated 20 foot waves for hours to keep the boat upright. ...more
Low interest credit cards are available as alternatives to those with middle-of-the-road to very high interest rates.

The human body has 60,000 miles of blood vessels for circulation. If you Google it, scientific research papers quote this number for the past decade. How do they know? Vas You Dere Sharlie? That’s almost three-times around the planet. We must be very important entities. 2. Our lungs are filled with Alveoli – tiny air sacs that exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. Good idea. According to the latest research there are 185 million alveoli (singular - alveolus) in both lungs. Wikipedia publishes the figure of 300 million in each human lung.
