MICKEY IS AT THE BEACH

Well I made it to the beach last night about around 8:30pm, not to much traffic at all except on 460 and I was slowed down some because I didn't have a smart tag with me. I thought about going to take some sunrise photos this morning but that's about all I did was think about it, maybe sunday morning I will get up and take some. The Cincinnati Reds continued there struggles last night losing to the Pirates 7-3, the Reds are now 3.5 games out on first in the NL Central, they still lead the NL Wildcard by 1 game over Arizona. The Braves are making another run at the wildcard, they are just 4.5 games behind the Reds. Elliott Sadler got of to a good start in his new ride yesterday putting the 19 car on the outside pole, the only person to beat him was fellow Virginian Jeff Burton. In high school football here in NC both teams from the OBX got of to to good starts last night, Manteo defeated Currituck 46-3 and First Flight stunned Northside 35-0. I think there is a fellow blogger with a birthday sunday, stay tuned to see who it is. MICKEY
