Outdoor Adventure Club

   I joined a hiking group back in the spring called the Outdoor Adventure Club.  We have monthly hikes and other activities, and average about 12 to 15 people at each event. 

  Today, we took a trip to Winston-Salem to Salem Lake.   Here is a recap of our trip, and some brief info about our club and its activities.

Your Choice : Smart Phone or Deodorant ?

   A recent Bank of America survey showed that 47% of Americans say that they cannot survive -one day- without their smart phones. [I've survived about a month & no worries!]  The survey also revealed that over 91% stated that their phones were as important to them as their car. (!) Also- those aged 18-24 said that their phones were more important to them than their deodorant or their toothbrush.

   Well- I must say, you can always pick up a toothbrush or can of deodorant at any corner drug store. But smart phones are a little harder [ more expensive ] to come by. But I'd advise those young people to continue to invest in their personal hygiene, and especially if they [ and their smart phones ] are in public.
