The world was extremely different millions of years ago. The long-necked Diplacusis wandered this volcano-laden landscape. Diplacusis was so large, due to its long tail and neck, that no other predators were a threat. Actually, the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period is called Diplodocus.

We used to call them books-on-tape, way back when. Back then, of course, we didn’t even have CDs let alone streaming services. Today, they have a much better name; audiobooks. With an audiobook, you can listen to the book as it’s being read by a narrator. It’s kind of like when you were a kid […]

Have you ever had your car break down in the middle of the highway? It’s not an enjoyable situation. Your car has to be safely pulled off the road. And then, for whatever reason, you probably open your hood and take a look at your engine. Humorously, you still do this despite the fact that […]

Have you ever purchased one of those “one size fits all” t-shirts only to be dismayed (and shocked) when the shirt does not, in fact, fit as advertised? It’s kind of a bummer, right? There aren’t really very many “one size fits all” with anything in the real world. That’s not only relevant with clothing, […]
