One of the most popular attractions in the San Antonio area is the annual Rattlesnake Festival. The idea for this gathering started around 40 years ago as a way to raise money and get rid of snakes. That idea has evolved into a fun filled weekend of food, rides, games, music and of course all things rattlesnake. This includes rattlesnake boots, rattlesnake skins and even rattlesnake chili. As with any major gathering you can bet that the organizers have made accommodations for the guests by providing plenty of parking and plenty of dumpsters for filling with trash.

Ever since the food network launched, cooking shows have gained in popularity. Not only have these lead to a whole new batch of fun personalities but they’ve also started a trend towards cooking competitions. Today you could try out be an Iron Chef, a Master Chef or a Top Chef. All you really need is to be an excellent cook. If you’re someone who amazes folks with your culinary creations then you know the value of a good oven. This is the hearth from which all great meals come from! If your old stove isn’t living up to your cooking potential then you definitely need to treat yourself to a new oven. You might not make it onto a reality cooking show but that doesn’t mean you can’t cook like an expert as long as you have the right equipment.
For many of us, acquiring junk is far easier than getting rid of it. Obviously, we don’t pick up some item and declare, “This is junk. I think I’ll keep it.” Most of our junk didn’t start out as junk but instead had a practical purpose. Then over time and use (or abuse) something breaks or gets worn down which turned a practical piece into a piece of junk. When it comes to getting rid of that junk, help is standing by in the form of your professional junk haulers based in San Antonio – Junk King.
Get ready to freak out: according to scientists your dishwasher could be a breeding ground for bacteria and killer bugs! Think about this for a moment. Where does most of the bacteria grow? In a moist and hot environments. Doesn’t that describe perfectly a dishwasher? A recent survey found that 62% of dishwashers contained the fungi Exophiala dermatitidis and E. phaeomuriformis around the rubber band that sealed the door. These particular forms of fungus are referred to as black yeasts and can be extremely dangerous for human beings. Even though you’re using detergents in your dishwasher cycle some of that bacterium manages to survive and thrive in high temperatures. Does this mean you need to throw out old dishwasher? Depending on how old it really is it might be something to consider.
Let’s face it, there’s a little bit of a snoop in all of us. If you live in a close knit San Antonio community then it’s only natural for you to want to watch out for your neighbors by keeping an eye out on what’s going on across the street or down the block. If you live in a place where there’s an occasional spat between couples that you can overhear our natural inclination is to listen in to see what’s going on. We can also tell a lot about what’s going on with our neighbors by the trash they put out. This doesn’t mean we should be going to everyone garbage cans. However, you should know right away when somebody has just got a new big screen TV thanks to the empty box sitting out on the curb. This makes taking the dog for a walk on Christmas day especially fun!
You can tell a lot about an office by the way its employees decorate their desks. There are some corporations who would prefer that there be no display of personal effects in office. They want a sterile environment that reflects their professional work ethic. Obviously, this is not going to be a fun place to work! However, if you happen to find yourself in an office where employees get to display pictures of their family or beloved pets along with other keepsakes you going to find a very happy environment. In many ways it’s that type of environment which is more conducive for better productivity. Just because workers are allowed to personalize their desks doesn’t mean they are necessarily unorganized. What looks like clutter to some could just be a very, complicated system. However, even a fun office could benefit the major reorganization of its space. That can only happen when the staff dedicates themselves to getting rid of all their office junk.
It’s amazing how many local residents of San Antonio don’t really take advantage of all the great things the city has to offer during the summer. Sure, if you have friends visiting from out of town the first thing they will want to do is go down to the Alamo so they can remember it later on. As long as you are down by the fort you’ll probably also take them over to the River Walk and call it a day. While that is certainly a lot of fun there is no reason why you have to wait for family or friends from out of town. All throughout the summer there’s an amazing array of activities being held all across San Antonio that can provide an enriching experience for the entire family. You can watch local artists work their craft in the downtown arts district, listen to free music concerts or take advantage of the cool air find inside the many San Antonio museums.
When we think of ‘trash’ we usually think about our daily lives. Not to say our lives are trash, but rather, we often have daily chores that involve taking down the trash. Depending on where you live in San Antonio, you aren’t always taking the trash ‘down’ – you might need to take it out to the curb, or even to a local dumpster if the stuff runs a bit bigger. None of us look forward to taking out the trash, although it does provide a sort of cleansing feeling to get it off our hands each and every time.
Although Hollywood might be the movie making capital in the world, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the movie watching capitol in the world. Actually, that honor goes to India. However, there are just as many film festivals popping up around the country to give local residents a taste of the unique and sometimes offbeat variety of independent films. Did you know that San Antonio is a proud sponsor of its own film festival? In fact, the San Antonio Film Festival has been going on for 17 years. This year the festival is expanding its reach by providing screenings at six different locations around town. As much fun as it is to head out to the movies to see a film nothing can compare with enjoying the latest cinematic treat in your own home. This summer you might want to have a new twist on watching a movie. Why not set up a drive-in theatre in your own backyard?
