Since the '80s is coming back in full force, even the revamped'Where's the Beef' commercial. Why not break out a Big Red one? Archie thinks these 2 could work it.
Archie is happy this is coming back this year...The Trail of Lights Festival/2011...Dec 9-18th! It will be funded by sponsors and the community, so make sure you have $5 per head, with kids 10 and under Free!  What your 5 bucks is going towards:The returning festival will host 35 lighted holiday-themed displays from 6â10 p.m. each night. Along with the displays, the festival boasts many family-friendly events such as concerts, new versions of traditional exhibits, carolers, flash mobs, a Circle of Charities and a community stage featuring choirs and choruses, dance troupes and childrenâs performance groups.One of the trailâs new additions is the ImageCraft Exhibitsâsponsored Santaâs Pavilion, an enhanced version of the Santaâs House exhibit featuring a stage where children can meet Santa and watch him from the trail. Also new for 2011 is the Austin Trailer Food Court.âAustin is well-known for its trailer food scene, so weâre tapping into those vendors to see if they want to vend on-site,â said Amy Vercruysse, Trail of Lights executive co-producer and spokeswoman. âFamilies have the option to have a dinner on-site at the trail of lights, where that option had been pretty limited in the past.âClick for more! Are you planning on going?Archie thought he's throw out some Lady G spirit. It's stuck in his head. [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/gAa1Csf695U" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
Archie ran across this story about Bulldogs and other short nosed pooches are being banned from air travel, because it's harder for them to breath and the elevation can cause problems. This is only in the cargo area, and does not pertain if they are in the cabin.The ban includes some cats like the Persian and the Himalayian.The Agriculture Department reports 189 animal deaths on commercial flights between June 2005 and June 2011, The New York Times reports. "Of those animals, 98 â more than half â were brachycephalic breeds." (Full story)Each airline has some different guidelines/rules, so check their sites for all the 411.
United has banned these breeds from flying in the cargo area...
