Rainshader: Umbrellas, The Next Generation

by Laurie Kay Olson

We've had a love-hate relationship with umbrellas for a long time. The contraptions have been around in one form or another in different parts of the world for thousands of years. They have long kept us protected from rain and sun. Other than making them collapsible and retractable, the basic design has changed little. That is changing as the Rainshader comes on the market.

So why not make a few at home for special occasions like game day and any day that you survive life?

Playing Pool Has Gone Bananas

by Laurie Kay Olson

In the right company playing pool can be more fun than a barrel full of monkeys. Even all of those monkeys will have fun on a pool table shaped like a banana. It's crazy. It's whacky. It's even a bit bizarre. That is exactly why it makes you want to at least try it out, if not actually have one of your own.
