HAPPY BIRTHDAY LES

Today is fellow blogger Les Fryar 68th birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LES. I have posted a photo of Les and a photo of the Chicago Cubs wishing Les a Happy Birthday also. It was a very nice day down here at the beach yesterday and no I didn't go swimming, however I do think my hearing may be improving in the ear I have water in. Dale Jr won yesterday's Busch race at Michigan knocking Carl Edwards out of the way to pick up the victory, the fans actualy booed Jr after the race was over. I didn't see any thing wrong with what he did, it was just hard racing and I think George will agree with me on that. Well the Reds are back to 2.5 games out of first in the NL Central after yesterday and the Braves are still 4.5 games out of the wildcard, both the Reds and the Braves just need to keep on winning. I forgot to mention in yesterdays entry on the blog that my victory red truck now has more than 3,000 miles on it, it took a lttle more than a year to surpass the 3,000 mile mark. I have posted a link to some photos that I took yesterday of the Wright Brother's Memorial, the clouds make thest photos very scenic. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LES, MICKEY

What I miss when I'm away is the pride in baseball. Especially the pride of being on a team that wins.
