Christmas in Hawaii
Planning on escaping to the warm tropical temperatures of Hawaii for Christmas?

Often we think of Christmas time, sitting by a warm fireplace sipping on eggnog or hot cocoa after a long day of shoveling snow from our driveway.

Hawaii is an exotic getaway from the cold, dreary and miserable Wintery season. At least for a week or two, an escape to Hawaii is the ultimate Christmas present.

Happy National Zucchini Day!
August 8 is National Zucchini Day or "Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbors' Porch Day." Due to overzealous planting of zucchini, citizens are asked to drop off baskets of the squash on neighbors' doorsteps. This might annoy some neighbors, but a nicer holiday than the "Place a Flaming Brown Paper Bag with Dog Poop on You Neighbors' Porch Day."

National Zucchini day is not to be confused with the April 24th; this is National Zucchini Bread Day.

How did this holiday originated?

Tom and Ruth Roy of Pennsylvania came up with the holiday along with 90 plus holidays that are out of the ordinary.

Al's Hamburger Shop in Green Bay, Wisconsin
Located under a sign that says, "Al's Hamburgers Eat" is a small white building sandwiched between two larger buildings. In all accounts, it is called "Al's Hamburger Shop." This small building looks as if it were an after thought (and maybe it was) added to where an alley separated the two other buildings.

Al's is a Green Bay landmark that "must visit" for tourist.

Al's Hamburger Shop has been around since 1934. A narrow building with a counter on one side of the room and about ten bar stools. Across from the counter (within a few steps from the bar stools), four booths are located by the other wall. The decor is what one would expect from a diner of the 1930's. The prices aren't 1930's, but very reasonable.

Personal Message to My Tagfoot Friends

Tagfoot is on a roll and making more widgets for us to add to our blogs and other sites. I have gotten so far behind with all of that. I will have to back track for all of this. Are there some people that haven’t been using them?

I updated my security firewall and antivirus software yesterday. Since then I can not reply, add a comment or send a private message to anyone on Tagfoot. I am writing this, so you know why I can’t participate in any way. It will only let me share a bookmark and to foot someone up, though I can not upload an image. This is the only way I can contact support. Hopefully will support will read this support and have an answer to my problem.

I am guessing that it is my software, unless support has put a block on me. I could use some help in order to participate here. My software is ZoneAlarm Security Suite.

I am able to go to your sites that you share. I want to thank those few people who have shared some of my lenses with others.

In the meantime, I will foot up people. For my friends, if you would like to send me your email address and we can communicate that way. Especially support if you would like me to communicate back to you.

Note: It must be my software. I was not able to upload a picture into this blog. It took me forever to upload it to Tagfoot, but it won't let me share it. I will contact a bigfeet and ask if he will share this.
