POST 284 FALLS TO BOYERTOWN, SOUTH RICHMOND WINS



Well Colonial Heights Post 284 became the latest victim of Boyertown Post 471 at Shepherd Stadium last night falling to the Bears 14-3 in 11 innings. Boyertown has now won 43 straight games in a row and will now play South Richmond tonight in the winner bracket final. Colonial Heights will play Scotia, NY today at 4:30pm. South Richmond Post 137 beat Edison, NJ last night to advance to tonights final 6-5. No I didn't make it up to last night game due to some inclement weather and the late start of the Colonial Heights game, in the future I think the host team shoul play the early game of the evening. Tonight in the NFL both the Washington Redskins & the Green Bay Packers have preseason games. Brian Vickers captured the pole for this weekends race at Michigan, Jimmie Johnson will join him on the front row. Scott if you get a chance give us an update on how Joy's father is doing. I did get some donuts this morning at Wal-Mart this morning and they were so good I had three of them for breakfast, I usually on eat two of them. My shoulder is bothering me a bit this morning so my PAIN index is the same as yesterday. MICKEY

You can
Though the task is one of great difficulty, the capabilities you bring are even greater. For not only is there much you can do, you can learn and grow to do much more.

When the situation changes, you can adapt. When a new problem arises, you can discover the fresh opportunities that come along with it.

You can call upon the wisdom inside you that grows more extensive with each new experience. You can listen to your heart, where there is valuable truth that goes beyond what your mind can explain.

You can draw great strength from the connection you have with others. You can align yourself with the beauty and goodness that reside firmly and persistently in every corner of life.

In the darkest darkness, you can shine a light. In the most difficult circumstances, you can act to make a profound and positive difference.

You can know, you can understand, and you can live in the service of a purpose that becomes more powerful and refined with each passing moment. Choose to do what you can, and there is no limit to what you're able to achieve.
-- Ralph Marston
