After their vacation I walked on the job site and was presented with a lovely Las Vegas snow globe. It has been about a year since then; and today I was given snow globe number 14 from an employee who just returned from vacation. The moral of the story is...if you are going to joke about collecting something; don't say snow globes.

I don’t understand how radio advertising is allowed to be so heavy with obvious scams and false claims. Listen to any conservative talk radio show and it’s a good 50% of the commercials.
