Art of Karaoke

Art Himmel discovered in the twilight of his life that he could sing like Sinatra. Now, this 82 year old WWII veteran and cancer survivor sings karaoke three nights a week. Art is living, breathing proof that you're never too old to be as young as you feel. (Could be the story of anyone at Coquina Crossing.) Video will open in new window.   link to story at NPR

Dewalt power nailer

Ron sent this photo of his new nail gun. He says:

This is my new Nail Gun, made by Dewalt. It can drive a 6-D nail thru a 2 X 4 at 200 yards.
This makes construction a real breeze. You can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence.
Just get the wife and kids to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back, relax with
a cold beer. When they have the board in the right place just fire away. With the hundred
round magazine, you can build a fence with a minimum of reloading. After a day of fence
building with the new Dewalt Rapid fire nail gun, your wife will not ask you fix or build
anything else.
