• Although George W. Bush will legally remain president until noon Eastern time on January 20, 2009, he and his family have been packing and preparing to leave the White House for several months. The First Family will not officially vacate the White House, however, until after the inauguration. While Barack Obama is being sworn in, movers will be furiously hauling his family’s belongings into the executive mansion. • As per tradition, the incoming First Family will stop at the White House on the morning of January 20 to greet the current Familyinresidence. While the Obamas are busy at the swearing-in ceremony, the Bushes’ personal items will be carried to waiting moving vans, and the Obama’s belongings will be brought inside. When the new president and his family arrive at the White House, they will be greeted by the household staff who will already have unpacked all their boxes. • When President Bush leaves office, he’ll take most of his advisors and other appointees with him. The White House household staff, however, will stay behind to work for the Obamas. Many of the maids, butlers, chefs, plumbers, and electricians on staff have worked there for the past 30 years. Their expert knowledge will help the new First Family make a smooth transition.

PICK OF THE WEEK “Chris Rock: Kill The Messenger” (3-Disc Collector’s Edition) -- I have a pretty extensive library of comedy albums, and one of my favorites is a rare double album by Bill Cosby from 1969 entitled “8:15 12:15.” The first disc is of his all-ages, family-oriented 8:15 show. The second is the adult-oriented midnight show. What’s great about this album is that the show is essentially the same, but you get to witness a master comedian gear his material to a specific audience. That’s why I’m looking forward to getting this latest Chris Rock boxed set. His HBO special “Kill The Messenger” was recorded in South Africa, London and New York City. The three concerts are spliced together with Chris beginning a joke in, say, New York and delivering the punchline in South Africa. Some folks found this approach jarring, but I thought they pulled it off beautifully. This boxed set contains not only the original broadcast, but the full, uncut shows from each venue, so you can witness how Rock plays to each audience on all three continents. For fans of stand-up, this is a must-have for your collection. DOGS OF THE WEEK

ATTENTION ALL CAR AND MOTORCYCLE OWNERS!!

This is an important notice. If you or anyone else you know owns a car, hot rod, motorcycle or any other “ride”, it is imperative that you read the following article – it could save you THOUSANDS! Is your current car or motorcycle outdated and looking a bit weary? Thinking of buying a new ride? Well DON’T! Instead of paying tens of thousands for a new car, why not save your hard earned cash and custom paint your ride instead? No matter if your ride is 5 years old or 50 years old, four doors or two, hard top or soft; or perhaps your ride is a motorcycle… a custom paint job will make your car look and feel like new. Custom car painting involves the use of primers, paints, spray gun equipment, airbrush equipment, as well as an array of other tools to give any vehicle a unique and/or new appearance. Elaborate custom car painting is only as successful as the painter who must utilize his or her artistic skill in conjunction with tools of the trade. Randy Goodspeed, or Speed’s Custom Refinish, is one of those artisans. Mr. Goodspeed takes pride in his ability to custom paint your car, motorcycle or hot rod beyond your expectations. “Custom paint is different than just your run-of-

the-mill paint job,” says Mr. Goodspeed. “Custom paint often times means mixing up unique color paint for the customer. Sometimes it’s to match a business logo. Other times I need to match the color of a loved one’s eyes.” Custom painting can bring an old car, truck or motorcycle back to life visually speaking. An old car can seem brandnew after an excellent paint job is applied. In fact, some individuals that practice car rebuilding often take on the task of either learning custom car painting techniques or they will hire someone with custom car painting `skills to repaint the vehicle after it has been rebuilt. At Speed’s Custom Refinish, there are usually several vehicles being custom painted after being refurbished including muscle cars, hot rods and vintage classics. Mr. Goodspeed treats each car as the unique individual piece of art that it is. Each car is primed, painted and protected with attention to detail and precision. Elaborate custom car painting designs take a considerable amount of time. In fact, the more elaborate design, the longer it takes for the desired paint job to be completed. Ultimately, the end result of any custom painting really depends on the ability of the individual chosen to do the work. Thus, it is a good idea to hire a custom car painting professional with

extensive experience to ensure quality work. How do you find an artist for custom painting? There are a number of ways to locate an artist or body shop that offers such services. First, you can check your local newspaper for ads. You can ask the custom painter or shop for references. Ask to see pictures of their work or better yet, ask for names and numbers of clients and stop by to see the work in person. Pictures don’t always do custom paint jobs justice. Randy Goodspeed invites the public to call him for a free estimate to custom paint your ride. “Motorcycle season is coming soon” says Mr. Goodspeed, “Now is the time to start thinking about refreshing your bike with a new paint job.

DRIVING STYLES

Some parts of the United States are known for local attractions or food specialties. Others gain fame because of their confusing traffic quirks. By Samantha Weaver • It was American science-fiction author John Thomas Sladek who made the following observation: “The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive.” • Although they’re not as much in fashion these days as they have been in the past, you certainly know what sideburns are -- but you may not know where the term came from. It seems that Ambrose Everett Burnside was a rather indifferent general for the Union Army during the Civil War, suffering a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Fredericksburg. Despite his lack of military genius, however, he was rather notorious -- for the enormous bushy facial hair he wore. Eventually his last name, slightly morphed, became the generic word for such a pattern of facial hair. • In Germany, police officers often use pigs rather than dogs to sniff out illegal drugs such as marijuana. • Those who study such things say that on average, Americans over the age of 60 catch less than one cold per year. • The first woman to be featured on the cover of BusinessWeek magazine was Brownie Wise, the creator of the Tupperware party. This was back in 1954. • If you’ve never seen an example of Leptotyphlops carlae, don’t be surprised -- the species of threadsnake seems to be found only on the Caribbean island of Barbados. The animal’s claim to fame is that it is the world’s smallest snake, measuring only 4 inches long when fully grown and achieving a girth about that of a spaghetti noodle. • Consumers in India purchase more gold than those of any other country in the world.
