NOT A GOOD DAY AT WORK YESTERDAY

I have to say that yesterday was not a good day at work. First off my boss said he is trying to sell the business and then he tells me because of tough economic times that he can not afford to pay my health insurance anymore which causes a big problem for me. So now it looks like that I am going to have find another job that does and that won't be easy in these times where there is not a whole lot hiring going on. Our Appomattox League team split a doubleheader with Thomas Dale last night losing the 1st game 4-2 and winning the 2nd game 9-5, we will be back in action at Matoaca tomorrow night. I did cut the grass before last nights game and water the yard some as well however the yard needs some more rain soon, it looks like has been very dry here in CH. I hope my day is better than yesterday. MICKEY

How it Works: Caffeine causes your brain to have a higher sense of alertness and an increased level of dopamine, improving your feeling of well-being and your mood. Consumed in liquid form, caffeine reaches all tissues of the body within five minutes, while peak blood levels are reached in about 30 minutes. Normally, almost all ingested caffeine is metabolized.

History and Popularity: Caffeine can be found in 60 different plants and many anthropologists believe its use may date back to the Stone Age. Coffee, specifically, appeared in Africa in 6th century A.D. and was later introduced to Arabia and the rest of the east. While the Chinese drank tea at least as far back as 2700 BC. In 1573 coffee was introduced to the Europeans and tea was introduced later in 1657. Caffeine was first isolated from coffee, however, in 1820 and from tea in 1827. Today, it's the most popular drug in the world with 90% of Americans consuming it in some form. Specifically, Americans consume 450,000,000 cups of coffee a day.
