I wonder...

...why on unseasonably warm days, one likes to roll down the windows, mash the gas, and turn up the tunes while driving?

There is something about days like today that makes me do all of the above. Do you have similar inclinations?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Isn't this interesting...

NASCAR "diehards" don't like the idea of Japanese manufacturer Toyota entering Cup racing because they are foreign. But it seems (from the excerpt below) that the Camry is the only Cup model that is fabricated in the US.

From an article on espn.com
Ironically, there will be only one Nextel Cup car on the track next year whose showroom version is actually manufactured on U.S. soil. The Ford Fusion is assembled in Mexico, while the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the Dodge Charger are built in Canada. In fact, Dodge is owned and operated by foreign manufacturer Daimler-Chrysler, a German company. The Camry, the model Toyota will race in 2007, is made in Kentucky, by American hands in factories run on U.S. soil. Despite being based in Japan, Toyota has found a way to tear down cultural barriers and define itself within the American psyche, blurring the line between domestic and foreign cars.

No More Goody's

Another piece of NASCAR history bites the dust...

Goody's out, Tylenol in..with NASCAR: Goody's Headache Powders, a staple in NASCAR since 1977, will be replaced by Tylenol next season as the sport's official pain reliever. It's yet another break the stock car racing series is making from its longtime, but regional, partners. Goody's plans to stay involved with Petty Enterprises and continue its relationship with Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, where Goody's sponsored a Busch Series race this season. The agreement also provides promotional opportunities around all the NASCAR tracks and gives Tylenol exclusive-rights deals with the International Speedway Corporation and Dover International Speedway.

Pics from the 30th Birthday Party

Chrissy really did a great job putting this party together, as you can see from these pics...

The front porch tailgate party.

The memory/picture table.

The breakfast nook.

The living room.

The entry hallway. We blew up 200+ balloons!

The chocolate fondue fountain and the sweet football field cake!

A couple more cake pictures. Chrissy made the cake!

24.5

Had another doctor's appointment this morning...Chrissy and Cletus are 24 weeks, 3 days along. We are on the downhill now!!!

All still looks great according to the doctors. Heart beat was 140 this morning.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!

It's too EARLY!!!

This weekend, a radio station in Charlotte was having a preview weekend of all Christmas music. What the $&*#?????

When is it OK for stations to start their 100% Christmas music rotations?

I think December 1 is ok for 24-7 Christmas music.

I can see maybe the weekend after Thanksgiving (to get all the shoppers in the mood), but they should go back to regular music on Monday.

I found this humorous
