BRICKYARD 400 THIS AFTERNOON

The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will run the Brickyard 400 this afternoon at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Jimmie Johnson will lead the field to the green flag, Mark Martin will start with him on the outside of row 1. In the Nationwide Series race last night it was the same old, same old with Kyle Busch winning again and I wouldn't bet against today either. CH Post 284 stayed alive last night with a 13-6 win over Post 186 in the American Legion baseball playoffs, Post 284 will play Post 361 today at J.R. Tucker High School. Just in case you haven't checked out Mickey's Country Music Box lately there are now over 1,300 songs in the box, I doubt you will here the same song for quite a while. I have say it was like a ghost town on Mickey's Place yesterday, not much traffic. I have added a local gas prices widget to the blog to help you find the lowest prices on gas in your area, Scott you can even type your zip code in and find the lowest prices in Knoxville, Georgia. MICKEY

Never go out to meet trouble. If you will just sit still, nine cases out of ten someone will intercept it before it reaches you.
— Calvin Coolidge

We are often pressured to eat when we aren't hungry. If you really don't want to eat something, learn to say NO THANK YOU.

Learn something from others by listening and be sincerely interested in them - in their point of view.

We all know what happens if you don't give in to your favorite foods: One day you'll have a monster craving and end up overindulging. It's better if you allow yourself small portions of the foods you love and not force yourself to eat foods you really don't like. In the long run, it will save you calories, because you'll feel more satisfied and you'll be less likely to binge and eat mindlessly. Eating in moderation is the key.
