I grew up in New England and spent most of my childhood vacations road-tripping with my family in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.

The thicker the teeth are on the attachment, the longer the hair will be left. Warning, using the clippers without an attachment straight on skin doesn’t make for a very comfortable shave in your bikini zone....

If you’ve ever played poker, you know that each hand has a name, such as a flush, for five cards of the same suit. A royal flush is the best hand in regular poker: making a straight-flush with the royal family (Ace-King-Queen-Jack-Ten) of one suit. Those names have been around for centuries. Texas Hold’em hasn’t been around that long, although it sometimes seems those old Texas Boys like Salior Roberts, Doyle Brunson, Amarillo Slim and the like had been playing the game for centuries, the way they dominated the early years of the WSOP!...
