Dear people coming to our office:

If you are challenged when it comes to directions, please indicate so when you set up an appointment. That way we can give you the extra special super duper easy directions. Or the ones with pictures.

Dear everyone:

Just in case it's not common knowledge (or in case you're in one of those families that gives directions by descriptor, i.e. "Turn left at the church with the green steeple and the goat statue in the front yard, but if the goat statue is wearing a bow, you've gone a church too far"), building numbers tend to be odds on one side of the street, evens on the other.

Dear Westminster Dog Show judges:

Can we give it a rest on the poodles already? The reason they always do well is because the darn things are really popular for dog shows. So they're bred really well. And money is invested. And dang it, you'll get more competition if some other dog wins in those categories.

*pouts*

I was rooting for another dog.

Dear 15" Beagle:

I'm rooting for you. Don't let me down. Be all cute and stuff. Plus it helps if you fly a plane and wear a scarf.

Dear Tennessee and Georgia:

I know it's kind of cool in a Wild West way, the idea of land grabbing and getting part of another state, but unless it's done at dawn with pistols (thereby making it way awesome to get rid of some politicians, or at least a good Darwin Awards contender), I don't care.

NASCAR Is All About The Sex

I'm telling you folks, it is. From commentary during the race to random interviews about off time activities - it's all about the sex. And we don't even have tight ends!

Although in this case, I think Vickers is asserting his heterosexuality.



Sometime today, Toyota driver Brian Vickers will throw himself from a plane and feel what he expects to be one of the biggest rushes of his life. And he'll be doing it alone. Unlike most first-time jumpers who go as a tandem, Vickers will undergo additional training to be able to make a solo jump. "I didn't want to do tandem," Vickers said. "Something about a guy strapped to my back doesn't seem quite as thrilling. I keep telling everybody I'm sure there's more to it than I realize, but I can't imagine I'm going to forget to pull the cord." He'll jump at Skydive DeLand, about 25 miles south of Daytona Beach. He said he wasn't concerned about the inherent danger, as he's used to facing high risks in his day job. "Just like in racing, if it's your time, it's your time," Vickers said. "If God wants you, he can get you any time he wants."
