I never knew that there were so many types of insurance policies offered these days. When I think of insurance, I think of home, auto and life – that’s about it. When I stopped in at my agent’s office last week, to pay my monthly bill, I had to wait a few minutes for assistance and was reduced to sitting in the waiting room longer than normal. I didn’t have a book to read, nor did they have any magazines to keep me occupied while waiting, so I picked up a few of their brochures and was surprised to see the variety of policies that you can purchase as of late.

When I got home I took a few minutes to look online at some different insurance sites and found myself looking at an insurance company located in Australia. They have even more of a variety of policies than I found at my agent’s office. They have guardian income insurance, policies that you can buy for funeral cover costs, interesting, to say the least. I also read that accident cover policies seem to be popular in the “Land Down Under” as well, it seems that 14 males and 7 females every day in Australia due to accidental deaths, so having a good insurance agent with good insurance policies seems the way to go for those folks.

I guess insurance is a necessity all over the world these days.

Tonight I got to see a bit of “America’s Got Talent” it is one of my favorite TV shows that always entertains me each season. I believe that they were looking for talent in Portland Oregon for this episode, it was a sad day for folks in that part of the country. Most of the people were buzzed off of the stage within seconds of their starting time and one guy even fell off of the stage, you can bet that he isn’t going to Los Vegas this time around!

The first day of summer is also the day of the year that has the most daylight hours.  I’ve always felt that the most daylight hours should be right smack dab in the middle of summer, not the first day!  I find it interesting, though, that even though the first day of summer has the most daylight hours, and the daylight hours get shorter after that day, that the daylight stays later in the day.  So I guess that the shortening of the daylight hours people are usually sleeping through in the morning!  I can remember as a child being very angry with my parents for making us go to bed at night while it was still daylight out!  Just wasn’t fair!
