WE GOT SOME MORE RAIN LAST NIGHT

Well we got a little bit more rain last night in a pretty good downpour around 8pm and there is a pretty good chance that we may get another rain shower this morning and the temp should stay in the upper 80's as well. Down at the beach they just about finished putting the new carpet in, the only room they haven't finished is my room and they are suppose to finish that room up this morning. This week the Nascar Sprint Cup Series is back at the Michigan International Raceway and I think Ford will pick up another win this weekend. Not much else going on around here. MICKEY

WHY ONIONS ARE GOOD FOR YOU
Of all the healthy benefits of onions, two elements stand out: sulfur (a compound) and quercetin (a flavonoid). They each have been shown to help neutralize the free radicals in the body, and protect the membranes of the body's cells from damage. Quercetin, an antioxidant, is also found in red wine and tea, but in much lower quantities. Interestingly, white onions contain very little quercetin, so it's better to stick with the yellow and red varieties. Most health professionals recommend eating raw onions for maximum benefit, but cooking makes them more versatile and doesn't significantly reduce their potency. In fact, unlike sulfur compounds, quercetin can withstand the heat of cooking.

The carpet looks great and it is nice to have a bounce under your feet. The other carpet pad was worn out. Now all we have to do is put the nick nacks back.
