(FYI: Aside from the list of sites below, I haven't updated this page in over 10 years.)

Walter Rader's web sites:

The Online Slang Dictionary (American, English, and Urban Slang)	A dynamic dictionary of English slang. If a new word or phrase comes to your area, I invite you to add it to the list. (Check out the page for more details.)
	Cool sightings from Google Maps Street View.
	Conversations overheard in Sacramento. A shameless derivative of Overheard In New York, from the other side of fly-over country.
	Have you ever found money in a pair of jeans that you haven't worn in months? Is walking along the beach at sunset enough to make you happy? It's nice to take such enjoyment in the simple pleasures of life. The Simple Pleasures page lists over a hundred more.
	My blog.
	My art. Unfortunately, not much is online.
