Nice! If you've ever wanted a lifetime of Chick-fil-A sandwiches, then you can identify with STEPHEN BELLISSIMO, who's a regular and has been stopping by the fast-food store in Oldsmar, FL, at least once a week for the past 15 years. The management there has now given Steve free food for life... a pretty good deal, although Steve is already 100 years old. WPVI reports Steve says instead of once a week, he's now decided to eat there every day.
Back-to-school time means heading out to buy school supplies and the National Retail Federation says 73 percent will shell out for basic supplies such as notebooks or pencils, followed by apparel (65 percent) and shoes (54 percent). And then there's personal electronics or computer equipment, which around 30 percent need to buy (or upgrade).
Question: what's the right age to give your child a cell phone to take to school? And why --safety, keeping track of them or finding them after school... and what apps do you allow on them?PRESIDENT TRUMP has a new limo he's using to ride around NYC in this week during the gridlock alert days when the UN is in session. Word is the new limo uses a Cadillac frame, but "The Beast," as it's called, is merely one of a dozen being built by GM, which received $15.8 million in 2014 to build the limos.
Car and Driver magazine reports that the limo's headlights come from the Cadillac Escalade SUV and is built on a heavy-duty GMC TopKick truck platform that reportedly weighs around 15,000 pounds. No word on what kind of gas mileage it gets --although the Prez doesn't have to worry about that kind of detail anyway. See the pictures on the Secret Service's twitter account @SecretService
