Normally Thursdays in this spot are reserved for music videos. Well, this is a video, and it does have music – beautiful music. It’s also a travelogue to a unique and beautiful monument to grief, loss, and how some deal with death and memorialize those who have died. Some of these statues are so lifelike they make you think they’re …
Time for your mid-week break
Better known as the world-famous Hump Day Hiatus, the wildly popular feature where millions of visitors to AugustaRx.com are whisked away to another time, place, or dimension without ever leaving the comfort of their bookshelf-lined, fireplace-equipped, mahogany-paneled drawing room (or dreary cubicle). The shortest day of the year approaches, as does the longest night of the year. Let us now …
PSA of the Week
Without saying a single word, this Public Service Announcement manages to pack a powerful message into its sixty seconds.
I Hate Monday
Do you ever stop to think how rare imagination sometimes is? Even our everyday conversations are often hijacked by meaningless “all purpose” words. Is everything really “awesome”? All I can say is whatever. The map below shows an example that I found to be quite surprising. (Next to the year is the top name of that year. The map shows …

Take two words. . .
…mix them together and make beautiful music. Because Thursday is music therapy day. V (for Day 5) is for video. The two words: • Land, and • Philharmonic, as in orchestra. Side note: If you haven’t noticed, ’tis the season for wretched excess, for conspicuous consumption, for massive credit card debt, for buying, buying, and more buying. Our two chosen …
Today is Hump Day, ergo a hiatus is in order
As you watch this, you might have the same thought I did: more of us need to be like this little prospector. Instead, lots of people seem to be downright cooperative with the proverbial grim reaper. Speeding behind the wheel, texting while driving, obesity, using tobacco, high fat diets, sedentary lifestyles, etc., all are synonyms for flirting with death. Just …
