STILL NO AC, APPOMATTOX TEAM FALLS

Well it is suppose to be 99 degrees today here in Colonial Heights and they are still working on getting the AC fixed. They had to order a part out of Maryland which will hopefully correct the problem, if not dad might have to by a new unit. All I know it hot and it pretty miserable here in the house in the afternoon and evening hours. I tried to sleep in the new room again last night but I just don't sleep well in there at all. I know one thing I sure haven't been on the computer that much since the AC went out. Well Appomattox League season came to an end last night with a 14-13 loss at Prince George, I think it might have been one of the longest 7 inning baseball games that I have been involved with. We were down 9-2 in the 2nd inning before we came back at took the lead 10-9 only to have PG tie it at 10. In the 5th inning we took a 12-10 lead only to have PG take a 14-12 lead in the bottom of the 6th, we were able to get one more run but left the bases loaded to end the game. The game lasted 3 1/2 hours. I am steal feeling pretty lousy, my head feels like it might explode at anytime. MICKEY

Wear Shoes That Fit
Feet can increase in size as you get older. Your feet are not really growing, but the tendons and ligaments tend to get stretched out and this leads to a larger foot size. Make sure to have your feet measured when you buy new shoes. Also, you should not wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. And finally, if you have bunions, hammer toes or a neuroma, make sure your shoes are wide enough and deep enough in the toe box.

A roach can live up to nine days without its head.
