Greenbelt
Last week, I decided to go for a walk on the Greenbelt. When I go on walks like this I like to bring my camera. It's springtime so I was hoping to see a lot of wildlife and I wasn't disappointed. I saw some amazing ducks. Some were just the normal ones you see everyday…… MORE

Big News
Some very interesting developments in major world stories lately. Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't seem to care about the sanctions imposed on Russian individuals over the invasion of Crimea. The search area for missing Malaysia Flight 370 is now the size of Texas. And G-M says it's sorry for the ignition problems that are linked…… MORE
On The Road Again
The sure sign that winter is over for the Schneider family is our annual trip to Arizona for spring training and generally hanging out around the pool. Spring training is big business in the state as thousands of people from the northern parts of the country head for the warmth. I have been making…… MORE
