HURRICANE IKE HEADING TOWARD THE TEXAS COAST



Well it looks like Hurricane Ike will make landfall Saturday morning on the east coast of Texas as a Cat 3 hurricane. The latest advisory has Ike's winds at 100 mph but are expected to strengthen to around 130 mph before landfall, there are allot of evacuations in progress right now in Texas. Well UVA will be without starting QB Peter Lalich this weekend at UCONN, he will not be making the trip and backup QB Marc Verica will get the start for the Cavaliers. We are getting some much more needed rain this morning here in Colonial Heights and it appears that some of the water restrictions in the area may be able to be lifted. The only problem with all this rain is that the grass is growing extremely fast again and yes I had to cut it again yesterday which has caused my PAIN index to rise this morning. Also fellow blogger Andrew can by after school yesterday and he will also be making an appearance today as well. We did get to play a few games on the Wii. MICKEY

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. W. M. Lewis

Sleep. Sleep experts say about ten percent of us are "morning people", twenty percent are "night owls", and the rest are somewhere in between. Some tips to become a morning person: accommodate to how much sleep you require, get sunlight exposure as soon as you wake up, and adopt a consistent sleep schedule.
