DAY NOT OFF TO A GOOD START

Well I have to say my day didn't get off to a good start when I went out to get the paper and I reached into the paper box and there was nothing in there, they might as well keep the paper today if they can't get it here on time. Our Appomattox League team will be back in action tonight at Petersburg that is if we have enough players, there are several on vacation and some who just say they cant be there so I hope we get th play. At the CWS yesterday South Carolina eliminated Arizona Sate with an 11-4 win and Clemson was beating Oklahoma 6-1 when the game was suspended in the 6th inning. They will finish that game today and then TCU will face Florida State in an elimination game. It is going to be over 100 degrees today and tomorrow before it drops into the mid 90's for the weekend. I am ready to go on vacation. MICKEY

Put five rubber bands around your wrist every morning. That's how many 16-ounce bottles of water you should drink during the day to rev up your metabolism, helping to burn more calories. At least, that's what German researchers found when they got 14 participants to drink about 16 ounces of water. The volunteers' metabolic rate – or how quickly they burned calories – jumped a third within 10 minutes of drinking the water and remained high for another 30 or 40 minutes. The researchers estimated that, over a year, increasing your water consumption by 1.5 liters a day would burn an extra 17,400 calories, or about 5 pounds worth. Since much of the increased metabolic rate is due to the body's efforts to heat the liquid, make sure the water you're drinking is icy cold.

On this day in 1938 - Marineland opened near St. Augustine, Florida.
