There are a lot of things to learn about a city in order to live there
successfully. Sometimes it takes years to find out some of the
"secrets" and tricks to living a good life. I share tips in
every issue of my weekly
newsletter.
If you know some good tips,
please send them to me via email. I
hope you find something useful to you here and feel more at home in Huntsville.
Tips for Week of June 24,

On
a recent expedition in Montana, Huntsville author Homer Hickam discovered
what may be a new species of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Jack Horner, Montana's state

more info on this and Homer's advice to writers, see Homer
Hickam website.

nursing homes to have full sprinkler systems throughout each building. The
other two states working on this are Tennessee & Connecticut.
