NASCAR Fans: Free Trackpass Until 02/17/07

Our little town is embroiled in a NASCAR debate. The neighboring county (more cosmopolitan than our rural area) wants to put a NASCAR track right on the border, meaning a larger tax base for them and a lot of traffic and law enforcement problems for us. The arguing has been going on for years, but I think those of us who would like to keep our police force at two officers on duty at a time and two stoplights in the whole area are slowly losing the battle. We’re losing because NASCAR is just too popular. Depending upon whom you … Continue reading →

Cool Stuff for Sports Theme Rooms at Fathead

Fathead! No, I’m not calling people names. I’m talking about a really cool way to decorate a kid’s sports themed room or even an adult space with a sports theme. As seen on TV, Fatheads are huge images of official team logos or even life sized, three-dimensional images of your favorite players that can be hung on the wall. They are simple to apply and easy to remove and re-use elsewhere. They work somewhat like static decals for the window, only they are for the wall. No sticky mess, no damage to the wall. They aren’t exactly cheap, but Fathead … Continue reading →
