tribit soundbar 3

REVIEW – Like many of you, I’ve been suffering with the scourge of using the built-in speakers on a television in my house. Nearly all televisions have garbage speakers that are either tinny or too quiet or both. Many built-in TV speakers are also downward- or backward- firing so that the sound that’s getting to

qualeben 16

REVIEW – Even though it is wintertime, we are still getting days up into the upper 80s here in south Texas.  I have always been a fan of the nugget ice you can sometimes find in various restaurants.  It is super crunchy and easy to chew.  It also tends to make a nice almost slushy
