BACK TO WORK, BASEBALL TONIGHT

Well after being off all of last week it's time to go back to work today, I sure enjoyed the week off and don't know if I am ready to back yet but I don't have a choice. After working today i will be heading to our Appomattox League baseball game tonight at home against Matoaca. Fellow blogger Keith is down Florida doing some government work and Maureen & Andrew are going down tomorrow to visit him and see some of the attractions down there while Keith is working. It looks like it is going to be in the 90's all week with a chance of t-storms each day, by the looks of most of the yards in the neighborhood it looks like they sure could use some rain. Well I am of to work. MCG

Poison ivy: Did you know poison ivy is mutating in ways that make its rash-inducing oils more potent and the plants themselves more difficult to identify? The cautionary rhyme “leaves of three, let them be" isn’t so reliable anymore. Plants, which can take the form of a shrub or vine, can have more leaves in a cluster. (Visit Poison-Ivy.org for images of typical varieties.)

Extension cords: Did you know burns to the mouth account for more than half of injuries related to the use of electrical extension cords in the home? Extension cords can be dangerous if they’re faulty or frayed, but even intact cords can present a number of hazards if they’re not used properly and safely tucked away, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. Children and pets can and will chew on extension cords if they can get to them, and this can result in severe burns and even electrocution.
