WELL ITS BACK TO THE GRIND

Well after enjoying the last two days off it's time to head back to the grind and I have a feeling that it is going very busy week at work since the 1st of the month coming up. Well it looks like Hurricane Earl is going to give the east coast a very close call but the projected path this morning still keeps it out in the Atlantic, however hurricanes are very unpredictable so I am keeping an eye out for Earl. It does look like the heat is going to return to the area this week highs in the mid 90's all week with a very little chance of rain through Thursday. Well Boris Said finally won a Nascar race yesterday winning the Nationwide race in Montreal and I have to say that I usually don'r like road racing in Nascar but maybe the Sprint Cup Series should race there. It seems like every time they race there in Montreal its a very close race that comes down to the last turn which can't be said for most races this year in Nascar. Well I got the Georgia contingents picks yesterday but I am still waiting for a 5 peoples picks, hopefully they will get them in sooner than later so can send everybody a master sheet of who everybody picked.

Don’t Argue: People who are generally negative do not respond positively to arguing. Instead of seeing your point, arguing will only reinforce an already bad attitude. They tend to see a positive person’s arguing as lack of validation and will only become more defensive.

CAR NOW HAS 80 MILES ON IT

Well I took my new car out yesterday morning for a bit of a ride and it now has 80 miles on it. I took out on the interstate and opened up to about 70 which is half the speed on the speedometer, I don't know of any reason that I would need to run 140. Well a few more picks for the college football contest cam in yesterday but I still don't have nothing from the Georgia contention or Andrew for that matter and the college contingent with the exception of Biff is also missing but you do have until Wednesday night. The Sprint Cups Series is off today but the Nationwide Series will be racing on the road course at Montreal. The Cincinnati Reds blew a chance to extend there lead to 5 games over the Cardinals in the NL Central when they lost to the Cubs 3-2, in the NL East the Braves still lead the Phillies by 2 games. I did cut the grass again yesterday and I am glad to report that there no injuries this week for my effort. MICKEY

GET MOVING
A study from the University of George found that when sleep-deprived people exercised, their perceived level of energy increased by 20 percent and their fatigue was reduced by 65 percent. Take out the dog for a quick walk, power through some crunches and push-ups during the commercial breaks, or pop in one of our favorite workout DVDs.

Frozen Food. Cheaper than the fresh stuff? Yup, and usually packed with sodium and fats. Go with this advice from a diabetes educator: shop the perimeter of the supermarket for the health stuff . . . skip the frozen section.

Nothing is ever lost by courtesy. It is the cheapest of pleasures, costs nothing, and conveys much. Erastus Wiman
