Great site for Great Tea!

I've recently discovered the enjoyment, and great benefits of drinking tea. In my explorations I've discovered a great website called "Design a Tea". It's a great site where you get to literally design your own flavored tea. You get to pick from one of four base teas, Black, Oolong, Green and Rooibos. There is an explanation of the benefits of each kind of tea. You then get to choose one or two flavorings you'd like to add to your tea. You can then choose whether you would like your tea leaves loose, or in tea bags. You then get to customize your purchase with a name/description that will be placed on your container. You get a small bag/10 tea bags for $4.75 or a large bag/20 tea bags for $8.50.

Pictured above is my first purchase, black tea with cinnamon and raspberry flavor which I named ForceMaster's Cinna-Berry. It tastes fantastic, and the personal service I got from Brian and folks at Design a Tea was incredible. I highly recommend their site to anyone who enjoys tea or would like to start drinking tea for the natural health benefits it offers!

Obama overturns Bush's environmental folly...

Tuesday, President Obama righted a great wrong perpetrated by former President Bush in the final days of his administration. Bush had basically circumvented the Endangered Species Act by modifying the law saying that government agencies could determine for themselves whether something they wanted to do like build a dam, or clear a forest was going to harm an endangered species without having to consult with the U.S. Fish and wildlife service or the National Marine Fisheries Service. Putting the decision-making process in the hands of bureaucrats instead of scientists.

This was one of the more heinous acts committed by the Bush administration, and I'm glad to see that President Obama has wasted no time in making this right!

Thoughts of the moment

The wind is howling outside right now. The last couple of days have been spring-time warm, but it's supposed to be back to cold, winter weather starting tomorrow. I guess that's the voice of winter that I'm hearing right now as it reasserts itself. I'm feeling antsy tonight, hopefully it's just the weather change. I'd hate to think that it's just winter getting to me, because I don't really like any of the other seasons that much anymore, so it's not like the changing of the months will help me out any!

I need to recharge somehow. I wish I knew how I could do that. My wife wants us to go off on a "real" vacation this August for our twentieth wedding anniversary. I'd like to do something special for a big occasion like that as well, but I just don't know how we're supposed to be able to afford this. I'm sure that's bringing me down, I just don't know what to do about it. Does anyone know what to do about it?

No doubt this was designed for "Fat-cat" Wallstreet executives so they could literally think about how they're "pissing on the world"!

New HDTV! Yeah!!!!

From Blogger Pictures

We've finally managed to get an HDTV in our home. We went out this morning and bought this 37" Vizio television. It has a beautiful picture and was simple to get set up. My son and I had it out of the box and everything hooked up and working in about 15 minutes. Games on his PS3 look absolutely awesome. I've become a big fan of both Burnout Paradise and Grand Turismo 5, I can't wait to play them on this big, beautiful screen!
