For the past couple days we have been having problems with our hot water. The heater broke, we have replaced parts but have not hit the jackpot until this morning. Turns out there was a recall on the lower thermometer that led to problems in the upper. Both need to be replaced. A new afternoon [...]

Happy Birthday to his Excellency, President [...]

It still baffles me that one decade ago we were using military force against a historically Christian people trying to hold back the forces of the West’s most dangerous enemy- Islam. Westerners are now cheering the fact that Kosovo has declared its independence from Bosnia. It the 4th of July for Kosovo Muslims. I am [...]
