STEWART WINS AGAIN & TEMPERS FLAIR




Tony Stewart picked up his 3rd win in the last 4 races and he appears to be at the top of his game as the Nextel Cup Series heads for the race for the chase. Dale Earnhardt Jr's frustrating season continued when blew an engine while running in second place and now is in 14th place in the point standings two spots out of the final spot for the chase. Tempers flared when Juan Pablo Montoya when into turn 1 a little to hard and ran into Kevin Harvick right in front of the whole field and Jeff Burton piled into Montoya ending all three drivers chances to win for sure, Harvick who wasn't to pleased then got out his car to confront Montoya and the both exchanged a few shoves and grabbed each other helmet. I thought it was just a racing accident but I probably would have been mad if I was the one got wrecked also. Hopefully the construction crew will be back to finish up allot more work this week, things were pretty much a standstill most of last week. Fellow blogger Keith & the rest of the family went to Busch Gardens yesterday, did Andrew ride Apollos Chariot or was he to small & did you get wet on the log flume. Just a quick note: before you not it school will be back open. MICKEY

We can often do more for other men by trying to correct our own faults than by trying to correct theirs.

1889 - William Gray of Hartford, CT patented the coin-operated telephone. Please deposit another $8.35, please. And if you listen closely you’ll hear the quarters “bong”, the nickels “boing” and the dimes go “bing-bing”...
1912 - St. Joseph’s College in Philadelphia, PA was granted the first experimental radio license by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
1934 - Cartoonist Al Capp began his famous comic strip, Li’l Abner. In those early days, the cartoon strip was carried in eight newspapers. Eventually, it would be in more than 500, and would be the basis for a Broadway play and a Hollywood movie, too.
1935 - The first roller derby match was held at the Coliseum in Chicago, IL.
1986 - After 22 seasons, Tony Perez of the Cincinnati Reds announced his plan to retire at the end of the 1986 season. That would leave Pete Rose and George Foster as the only remaining, active players from the original Big Red Machine of the 1970s.

Mick - I like the new blog - without change you cannot grow.

When Lee and I went to Busch Gardens, I rode all roller coasters, except the new one - Is that Apollo's Chariot? Lee rode all the coasters.

I know the teachers would like for the summer to be longer. I didn't want to go back in August. December would be better. HAHA

I want to make it official: we moved into the mansion yesterday.

As might be expected, it is a bit of a mess and will remain so for a while.

Emma and Anna like their new bedroom (with new furniture) and their Hello Kitty bathroom.

glad to hear your back in the heights officially.

Hope you haven't sold your old house yet. I might be able to work a deal if the new buyers want it furnished.

He rode Apollo's chariot and the Loch Ness Monster.

He was not tall enough for the Griffin and other big coaster.

He can ride the Big Wolf but the line was to long
