The 1970s were a bold, carefree, and sometimes downright puzzling time in American history. From shag carpet to gas station giveaways, the choices Florida residents made back then made perfect sense at the time. But try doing some of those things today, and you’ll get a few raised eyebrows. It was a different world, and…
In places like Wyoming, where kitchens often double as gathering spots for family and friends, looks matter just as much as function. But even the sunniest kitchen can feel tired if the details aren’t right. Maybe it’s the cabinet hardware. Maybe it’s the lighting. Or maybe it’s something you stopped noticing a long time ago….
There’s something about airport security lines that transforms an otherwise average Joe (or Joanna) into being downright rude. It’s not even TSA’s fault. Most of the time, it’s the passengers.
