Patio

Our patio is now complete. I think it was a major success. Now I need to figure out if we can use the Stadium seating I have in a picnic table or maybe as seating on the retaining wall.

Also a cool version of Casey at the bat using baseball cards to tell the story.

tigers

I caught a little of the game, but I didn't see you. I hope they checked you out and made sure you don't have swine flu. At the clinic, I mean.

HAHAHAHAHAH. Never a dull moment.

Tiger game

Hoot and I are heading to the Tiger game today. There is an on-field "clinic" before the game - so we're going to make it down on the field.
Look for us on Fox!

1776

Yes, I do remember that. It was all about the revolution (of course). I was disappointed when they stopped doing it. Imagine how smart I'd be if they had been doing it all these years.

1976

Do you remember the "That's the way it was 200 years ago today" commercials? Some TV personality would tell a quick historical story about something that happened on that date in 1776. I don't remember anything more than the catch phrase.

1976

I don't remember that in 1976. I was too busy celebrating the Bicentennial.

I think I would still be more scared of getting shot or kidnapped in Juarez, than getting swine flu. That place is out of control. A (mexican-american) guy I knew in the army once told me to never go to Juarez without a Mexican with you. You'll be stopped by the police (walking or driving) and will be arrested, unless you give them money.

But I hear they have good Mexican food there. Of course, they just call it "food". (humor credit goes to Chandler)

swine flu

Do you remember the swine flu panic back in 1976? I remember it always being on the news - people lining up to get shots. I don't think I got a shot - maybe too young?''

My nieces are in Juarez this week building a house. The family was worried for months about the drug violence going on down there, but now we get to add pandemic to the worries. Hopefully Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs won't have closed the border before they get back.
