BURTON HAS A BAD DAY AT MARTINSVILLE


Jeff Burton went into yesterday's race at Martinsville as the points leader but after having an engine failure yesterday he is now back to 5th in the point standings. Matt Kenseth is the now the new points leader by 36 over Kevin Harvick and there are three other drivers within 48 points of the points lead and the top eight in the standings are just separated by 99 points. Jimmy Johnson won yesterdays race holding Denny Hamlin and Bobby Labonte. In the World Series the Tiger beat the Cardinals last night to even the series at 1 game a piece, the series will now go to St. Louis. The Green Bay Packers beat the Miami Dolphins yesterday 34-24 and with the win the Packers have as many wins as the Steelers and Redskins which isn't very good for those teams. In preseason hockey action yesterday the Renegades beat the FireAntz 4-1 at the RC, the Renegades home opener is Saturday night against the Jacksonville Barracudas. I was doing a little shopping online yesterday and I ran across this book on the internet and I thought I would get a copy for all you fellow bloggers except Keith I think he already has it. MICKEY

This is the sixth book I've written, which isn't bad for a guy who's only read two.

It appears(except for maybe Keith and Tammy) we could all benefit from future introductions to the riddle books!
