UVA, ECU & GEORGIA IN ACTION ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, SOUTH RICHMOND WINS



Well one week from today Virginia, East Carolina & Georgia will make there 2008 college football debuts and hopefully I will either be at the USC vs Virginia or ECU vs Virginia Tech game but if not i will go to the beach and watch both games on the TV. In high school football action last night Petersburg picked up a big win over Halifax 29-6 with the biggest controversy of the game occurring at halftime when the Petersburg band played the entire 15:00 minute break while the Halifax band waited to come on the field and the home folks were none to happy about booing the Petersburg band as they left the field. Apparently no one told Petersburg the only 7:30 minutes, you could here the crowd booing in the background on the radio. Down at the beach First Flight beat Perquimans 24-14 & Manteo beat Currituck 7-0 in OT. Scott did Crawford County scrimmage last night or was it rained out. South Richmond Post 137 won there 1st game of the American Legion World Series yesterday 5-2 over Midland Michigan, they will now play Sumter, South Carolina tonight at 8pm. Carl Edwards captured the pole for tonights Sprint Cup race at Bristol and Brad Keselowski won last nights Nationwide race at Bristol. The Green Bay Packers picked up there 1st win of the preseason last night beating Denver 27-24, the Redskins will play the Panthers tonight in Charlotte. MICKEY

DID YOU KNOW THAT
Dogs and cats consume almost $7 billion worth of pet food a year.
There are about 420 rice chips in a Nestle Crunch Bar.

Three times a week.
Do weight training three times a week. It's enough to get the benefit, and give your body time to rest in between.

It is our own thoughts that lead us into trouble, not other people.

Relax
Relaxation is the opposite of stress. While stress brings harmful health effects, relaxation helps our bodies to rest, heal and function better. By practicing daily relaxation techniques, you can train yourself to turn off your stress and replace it with calm energy. This will improve your blood pressure, heart rate and ability to cope with life's challenges.

Life is now
No matter how much joy you've known, there is always more joy to be experienced. Each moment brings new possibilities for adding richness to life.

The best days of your life are never behind you, unless you choose to see them as such. For no matter how life has been, there will always be opportunities to experience more goodness.

Everything you know about has already happened, so it can be very easy to view life as nothing more than what is receding into the past. Yet life is infinitely more, because life is now.

By all means, hold firmly to the goodness you've already known and carry it forever in your heart. At the same time, open yourself fully to the positive possibilities that are yours right now.

Now is the moment to live. Now is the time for all that can be.

The sun is just now rising on the bright golden possibilities of this day. Life's great and beautiful promise is now.

I can't believe Petersburg took their band to Halifax Co. How did CH do in their scrimages?

Do you have an outside shot at Hoo tickets? Other than seeing USC, I think ECU vs Hokies will be a better game.
