    SLOW Food

    Talking about taking Sunday off for a day of rest, and how busy our lives are, I have joined (finally!) the SLOW movement. I love it! Waiting for my first issue of mag to come in the mail, but the concept is wonderful (at least as far as I am concerned). Definetely for foodies, but also for...

    CAR ALARMS

    Here I am sitting at the factory, and outside I can hear a car alarm. Making my way to the window to observe - no one even looks up from their cubicle, turns their head, or is remotely interested. So what happened with car alarms, and what will replace them to fend off evil spirits?
