Az I Use It....
- A typical lead pencil can write 45,000 words, or draw a line approximately 35 miles long. In the United States, about 75% of pencils are yellow, and they are actually made of graphite - not lead!
- As gasoline prices begin their early-spring/summer climb to $3.00-plus, check-out any of the following websites to track the best possible gas prices in your zip-code areas: www.fuelmeup.com, www.gasbuddy.com, www.gaspricewatch.com, or www.automotive.com/gas-prices/index.html And remember, there are very diminishing returns the further away you drive from your main destination, just to save a penny or two per gallon, when your vehicle may only hold 15 to 20 gallons or so.
- MLB Commissioner Bud Selig is adamant that there will be no added taxes on any Cactus League Spring Training tickets, in order to finance a new stadium facility specifically for Mesa's Chicago Cubs, saying it would not be fair to the other 13 Cactus League teams. The 'Cubs Tax' would ensure that Mesa's annual $138M in revenue would be maintained. Instead, he favors a proposal that would create a new Maricopa County-wide sales tax increase, because it is evidently more fair for all of Maricopa County's residents to share the burden of Mesa's potential loss - even if you do not benefit from Mesa's economy!
- Las Vegas, Nevada is home to the Hoover Dam(well, it's close), and while it produces massive amounts of energy, it cannot prevent flooding, as Vegas has more home mortgages 'underwater' than any other U.S. city - a whopping 81 percent!
- It's to the point that before I deposit money into a bank, I ask them what they have for collateral!
