Cruisin'

Written by

Who wants a free-ish cruise? I know, right?!?! If you're a first responder, member of the military, or a teacher, Margaritaville at Sea wants to treat you to a free 3-day cruise to the Bahamas as a way of saying thank you "for your dedication to serving our communites at home and abroad."

In order to qualify, you must be verified on the GovX ID platform. Port fees and taxes are your responsibility. Otherwise, sail on!

July 15th, 2022 marked 34 years since we were introduced to John McClane and the infamous Nakatomi Plaza with the worst company Christmas party ever. Bruce Willis revisited Nakatomi Plaza to mark the occasion. It was cool and bittersweet at the same time.

 

You became that "everyday hero" we all needed.

Thanks for my favorite Christmas movie of all-time (I don't care what you say, Bruce!).

Mastered

Written by

Stranger Things 4 has done so much good for the music world. Not only is Kate Bush enjoying huge success 30+ years later with "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)", but Metallica is rockin' into the consciousness of an entirely new generation. And we're here for it! "Master of Puppets" is back in the Billboard Top 40 thanks to the show. The band got together to do a TikTok of themselves dueting to the scene where Eddie plays "Master of Puppets" in the Upside Down.

 

 

@metallica #duet with @netflix Eddie, this is for you! #StrangerThings #StrangerThings4 #MasterOfPuppets #EddieMunson #Netflix ♬ original sound - Netflix

Meanwhile, Joseph Quinn (who plays Eddie in S.T.) released a video of himself playing along to the Metallica track.

... Oh, My!

Written by

It's that time of year again. The black bear migration. They're spotted every year in Hudson, and surrounding areas (right, Fairlawn?). Our Buckeye Bears are just moving to another area where there's food. So, they won't bother you if you won't bother them. With that said, here's what you can do to avoid any unwanted bear squatters in your yard. Tips courtesy of the Ohio Department of Wildlife:

Bird feeders and other wildlife feed: Remove feeders, including hummingbird and suet feeders.
Trash receptacles: Store your garbage either in a garage or a secure container.
Pet food: Keep pet food inside, especially at night.
Grease from grills: Clean out grease traps after each use; store grill in garage or shed.
Secure beehives: Place electric fencing around beehives.
Crops: Pick fruit from berry bushes as soon as possible; scare bears out of agriculture fields as soon as damage occurs; contact your Summit County Wildlife Officer.

What if you encounter Mr. Bear? Here's what to do according to the Ohio Department of Wildlife:

Black bears are usually fearful of people, therefore bear attacks are a rare occurrence. Bears do not attack or kill children or pets as long as the bear is given its space and not cornered. The first thing to do when you see a bear is REMAIN CALM. Generally, black bears are non-aggressive and prefer to flee from the area as soon as they are aware of your presence.

If you encounter a bear, and it is not aware of your presence, simply back away from the area slowly. If the bear is aware of your presence and it does not leave the area, avoid direct eye contact with the animal, give the bear an easy escape route and again, simply back slowly away from the area. Always avoid running or climbing trees, which may provoke a chase. An easy way to remember this is to be AWARE:

Act calm and do not run.
Warn the bear that you are near; talk in a firm, calm voice.
Allow space between you and the bear. Step aside and back slowly away. Do not make the bear feel trapped or threatened.
Raise your hands above your head to appear larger if the bear approaches. Clap your hands or shout to scare the bear away.
Exit the area.

Kids to the Rescue

Written by

It's a refreshing change of pace when there's actually some good news out there. Especially when there's good news in our own neighborhoods. A bunch of kids in Kent helped-out Matt Parisi of Akron, who ended up in a predicament the other day while mowing a customer's lawn.

 

Kudos, young ones! Good still exists in the world. We need to share more of these stories so we all remember. Be safe and happy, everyone!

What a fun way to see the exhibits at the Akron Zoo! Riding an animal-themed scooter!

 

The cost to rent is $5, plus .35 cents per minute. I will ride this for an hour! Might be something extra fun to do with the kiddies.

I've been fortunate enough to interview a number of musicians over the years. Some have disappointed. Some are rude. And some are gems. George Thorogood is a gem. I had the chance to talk with him about his latest LP, touring, and whether or not he still drinks alone. 

 

 George Thorogood joins Sammy Hagar & the Circle at Blossom on 6/16. By the way, I'll have your chance to win tickets all week long at around 4:15 (through 5/20)
