Visitors "MUST SEE" Sites
If someone was to visit your town, what would you want to show them the most?
Would it be the restaurants, the culture, architecture, night life or just plain weird stuff?

How to Open Rigid Plastic Clamshell Packages Safely
Those oversized, rigid 'clamshell' packages may help to secure items for shipping and cut down on shoplifting, but they can be a nightmare for consumers. There's even a term for the frustration they inspire: wrap rage. In 2004, over 6,000 Americans went to the emergency room with injuries resulting from opening difficult packaging! Here's a rundown on how to preserve your hands and sanity when confronting a blister pack that has no apparent means of entry.
Can Opener Method
1. Get a manual rotary can opener.
2. Open the clamshell as if it were a can. The sharp wheels of the can opener will cut the plastic, without cutting your hands. It won't go around the corners, so cut open just one side. This will give you plenty of room to...
3. Insert a knife between the two layers of plastic and cut all the way around. Since the blade is inside the package and pointing towards the center, it's much safer than trying to stab through the plastic and wedge the tip in between. With a decent knife, the remainder of the plastic should be easy to cut.

MOST RECENT PHOTO
OK. I'll be brave and post the most recent photo of myself and my son. I went to visit him today. Made the trip all by myself. Usually my daughter or other son go with me.
For those who dont know, my son is incarcerated and has been for the past 15 yrs.
I try to be regular about going to visit, its not like he can just come and see me.
He's in Gatesville, which isnt that far for me, only about 2 1/2 hrs. We get a 2 hr visit and then I make the trip home. Its an all day affair and can be quite tiring and emotional.
Here we are.
