What Is Your Hobby? Most of us have a hobby. We may not realize it’s a hobby, however, if it’s something that we really enjoy doing and we research and learn how to perfect it, then it can probably be considered a hobby. Hobbies can range from minor interests to full-blown obsessive infatuations. Does it really matter though? As long as you enjoy it and it gives you something to do, who cares? Stamp collecting, living history, building birdhouses, woodworking, video games, and many other activities are considered hobbies, however, do not appeal to everyone. These are niche hobbies. Another niche hobby is fishing. Fishing does not appeal to everyone, however, the people that do find this hobby exciting and really get into it wholeheartedly. For example, my husband now believes himself to be a saltwater fisherman, even though we live nowhere close to the coast and only get to go twice a year. This, however, does not deter him from obsessively researching this hobby, as well as, compu...

Sometimes You Just Need A Truck There are many car people out there who prefer cars over trucks. They like the gas efficiency, easy maneuverability, and compact size of a car. Don’t get me wrong, cars are great especially if you are looking for all of these qualities. Trucks do not really offer these type of qualities. However, they do provide other qualities that compact cars cannot. Trucks are lovely traveling vehicles, they are large, so you can fit a lot of stuff in them. They also have a backend which is perfect for hauling large items such as furniture, two by fours, and camping gear.
