I love being a mom and I love my job, but I admit it: I would fish for a living if I could! HA!

Cinco de Mayo Is Friday — And Washington’s Searching For Tequila!
Cinco de Mayo is today (Friday), and for those of you who do not speak Spanish, that means "fifth of May." It celebrates the Mexican army's May 5, 1862, victory over French forces during the Battle of Puebla -- though many mistakenly believe it commemorates Mexico's independence day.
How Much Was A Gallon Of Gas When You Were Born? It Was 31 Cents For Me!
I am not going to tell you the year that I was born, of course. But, gas cost only 31 cents back then. Holy moly! That seems super-cheap now.

A guy who left his guitar at the Cleveland-Hopkins Airport unwittingly set off a security scare -- they closed everything down because they saw the object as a threat. It's too bad that happened, but the question is, why would he leave a guitar behind? Would you?

Would You Turn In A Bag Of Money If You Found One? [POLL]
I have had this conversation a thousand times with people I know. Most of them say they would not turn in a bag of money if they found one. I cannot imagine finding a bag of money. But I would turn it in so I would feel good about it. A kid in Vermont found $2,000 and he did turn it in.
Rare 1924 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Landaulet Sells In Arizona — Ever Seen One Around Here?
I love old vehicles. When I was young, I used to use my tip money to buy cars. I had a 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger, 1964 1/2 Mustang with a 289, and 1965 and '67 Mustangs -- both with 289s. My favorite was a 1964 1/2 Ford Thunderbird. She was the best.
I had a bunch of other cars, but those were my favorites that I have owned. I always wanted some of the crazy-looking European cars, but I could never
What U.S. Mountain Pass Is the Scariest to Drive?
I have been on some serious curved roads. They're roads I still want to go on, but I really don't want to drive them. My problem is, I don't want anyone else to drive, either. In Utah, several mountain passes and switchbacks offer amazing views, but you cannot look or you will die...

Twinkies Now Come In Chocolate Cake — I Haven’t Seen Any In Washington Yet, Have You?
Hostess Twinkies are so yummy. They are also kind of bad for you, but it is one of those treats that I must have. When Twinkies decided to shut down at one point, I was like, "Nothing will ever be that good again." Then they opened back up. I have only bought one box of Twinkies since that, but I might have to now that they're making Chocolate Cake Twinkies.
