RAIN, THEN A LITTLE SNOW

Well is looks like it is going to be a very rainy day here in the Heights before it all turns to a little bit of snow before it ends later tonight.  There are some areas in the western part of the state that will pick 5-8 inches of snow but for around here it just looks like a dusting up to an inch before it ends.  Since exams are going on at the high school there are no sporting events until Friday night when the boys basketball team is back in action at home against Matoaca and the girls team travels to Matoaca.  Well since it is raining I guess I am going to head into work a little earlier today just in case there any accidents on I-95 because of the rain.  MICKEY

Eating carbs makes you thin for life
A recent multi-center study found that the slimmest people also ate the most carbs, and the chubbiest ate the least. The researchers concluded that your odds of getting and staying slim are best when carbs make up to 64% of your total daily caloric intake.
