CH PICKS UP TWO MORE APPOMATTOX LEAGUE WINS

The Colonial Heights entry in the Appomattox League picked up two more wins last night at Dinwiddie, CH won the 1st game 13-2 behind the pitching Phillip Griffith and won the 2nd game 4-2 behind the pitching Burke Steele. Offensively Casey Barnes hit a 3run HR and several other CH players had multiple hit games, CH is scheduled to play Manchester at Shepherd Stadium Friday night weather permitting. It has come to my attention that several blog members have had trouble signing over the last couple of months since blogger went to the format, if anybody wants me to send them a new invitation to join Mickey's Place just e-mail me. It was pretty at and humid here in CH yesterday and it looks it's going to be the same today before some much needed rain moves into the area on Friday, we sure could use some. The Indy Racing League will be racing at Richmond this weeks while the Nascar Nextel Cup Series visits New Hampshire. Have a nice day and stay cool. MICKEY

HEALTH TIP
Retire Your Toothbrush Change your toothbrush at least once a month, or right after a cold, flu or other illness. Germs that can live on a damp toothbrush for days; when you're sick, a damp toothbrush may reinfect you. Use two toothbrushes alternately to give each one a chance to completely dry out. "Brushing your teeth is a traumatic injury," says Dr. Charles J. Palenik, a microbiologist at the Indiana University School of Dentistry. "You are going into areas of your mouth where you can have bleeding, and you could be reintroducing organisms back into your system."
