    This weekend more than 1500 Hot Rods and Muscle Cars will invade the Spokane County Fairgrounds as part of Goodguys Rod & Custom Association’s Full Throttle Fun.

    My sister’s birthday is in August. If it wasn’t for that, I’d have nothing to do with the month. It’s usually hot, there are no three-day weekends the whole time, and it’s almost always unbearably hot. Did I mention that it was hot? Yes, August sucks, but perhaps to make it a little more bearable…

    It’s nearing the end of July which I assume means we’re getting close to the dog days of summer. I sure hope so because I really like dogs. I guess a lot of people do too as there sure are a lot of dog references when it comes to the weather. In addition to being…
