COLONIALS LOSE 5-3, NASCAR IN RICHMOND

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team lost to Dinwiddie last night 5-3 in a game which the Colonials out hit Dinwiddie but didn't outscore the Generals. The Colonials with the loss are now 7-8 on the season and will be back at home on Tuesday against Prince George. The Nascar Sprint Cup and Nationwide series will be at the Richmond International Raceway this weekend, I will not be going to RIR but fellow blogger Al will be there taking photos. The Virginia baseball team will be on the road this weekend at Duke. The weather this weekend will be about as nice as it gets with highs in the upper 80's to low 90's with no rain until Monday.

Turn off the TV and power down your cell. For 30 minutes during dinner or, if you're more ambitious, a couple hours before bedtime, shut out the constant buzz of the outside world.
