I blogged about my luxury SUV shopping adventure with this post and this one. I finally decided on the 2013 Infiniti JX35 – its was not a monster truck on wheels and still offered extra seating for seven.

Today is Flag Day and I can only hope to see many people breaking theirs out and fly them proud. We proudly fly one that is lit up, each and every day! Flag etiquette is also a big pet peeve of mine. It is usually because of lack of knowledge that it is not followed. …
