In **Boogers Are My Beat**, Dave gives us the real scoop on:

• RV camping in the Wal-Mart parking lot
• Outwitting “smart” kitchen appliances and service contracts
• Elections in Florida (“You can’t spell Florida without ‘duh’”)
• The Olympics, where people from all over the world come together to accuse each other of cheating
• The truth about the Dakotas, the Lone Ranger, and feng shui

And much, much more—including some truths about journalism and serious thoughts about 9/11.
