I love Costco, I just try to avoid it during the busiest periods at all costs. When Costco is at it's busiest, it is a pain, but if you catch it just after it opens, it's usually much nicer (especial...

If you ever get the chance, it's also fun to volunteer for decorating the floats, although it is a very slow process. Basically it's a matter of applying glue to the surface of the float, and then pu...

They first mentioned it in relation to the Rose Parade (it's buried in at least one news release by Metro, this one for sure: http://www.metro.net/news_info/press/metro_223.htm ) as a way to get to an...
