Caught On The Web

Take a quick break from your routine with these fun, often funny, and almost always short-and-sweet items found by me on the internet. You'll see lots of CATS, lots of VIDEOS, lots of FUNNY ITEMS, and have lots of FUN. Richard Sneed, owner of Norwalk Records in Norwalk, California, commented about one cat video, "I got charlie horses in my ribs laughing at this. Thank You Carole." BTW, have you visited my new BERKELEY AND BEYOND website at www.berkeleyandbeyond.com?

good luck charms

Wouldn't it be nice to collect good luck charms as you roam the world? This article documents 24 good luck charms, of which I have a few from my own trips.

On that same trip, I picked up a worry doll at the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita in Mexico.
