A used ambulance would make a really swell planter in the backyard. What a conversation piece!

A local police sergeant (now retired and working on television) has a second business, buying old police cars and ambulances, repainting them for use on movie sets.

I. Had. No. Idea. Now that you mention it, I'll be looking at all the DVD and movie poster covers with a whole new perspective.

My teenage son and I have an ongoing font battle. He insists on using Lucida Grande for every school essay, while I scream, "Times New Roman" at him.

I know, I know... first it'll be fonts, then he'll move on to the hard stuff, like staples.

You prompted me to google the beer blogs and oh, my there are so many.

Ontario has many great craft breweries, as does Quebec. Unibroue's Maudit is one of my favourites - a beer that improves with age, almost taking on the characteristics of port. It has a flying canoe on the label.

Please, please please don't buy into the notion that a medium rare hamburger is the way to go. The burger MUST be cooked all the way through or you run the risk of contracting E-coli bacteria.

Steak tartare is not a true example of rare beef. Because steak is all in one piece, the e-coli bacteria is cooked off on the outside surface, therefore safe to eat.

Hamburger has the e-coli ground up and distributed throughout the meat, increasing the risk of the bacteria surviving on the inside of the patty.

The daughter of a friend of mine ate an undercooked hamburger and her kidneys shut down. She was close to death for several weeks.

Spice 'em up any way you want. Flip them, squeeze them and love them, but cook them thoroughly.
