I can't help but wonder that if our government hasn't gotten it right so far, how it is gonna get it right with the new proposed health bill. For those with short memory issues, here is a 2007 article on the health care the U.S. has been providing to our Veterans. 'It Is Just Not Walter Reed' - Soldiers Share Troubling Stories Of Military Health Care Across U.S. By Anne Hull and Dana Priest, Washington Post Staff Writers, Monday, March 5, 2007 Tell me that you can read that article and get excited about getting more government involvement in health care, and I'll call you crazy.

McFarland exit from GA 400 South. The biggest myth associated with smoking is that cigarette filters are biodegradable. Actually, the filter of a cigarette is made from acetate, a form of plastic which takes many years to decompose. For more info: http://www.cigarettelitter.org/index.asp?PageName=Facts So mean time, we all get to enjoy the thousands of cigarettes casually thrown out the window of a car while someone is waiting for this stoplight to change. And while they are at it, a few drink bottles to keep them company. What happened to Keep America Beautiful ?

"Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right." A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia It seems like it's rainin' all over the world I feel like it's rainin' all over the world" - Tony Joe White, 1962 It has rained for three days now and tonight's news and weather guessers claim it is going to rain until Monday. It is the kind of weather that makes you shiftless, lazy, and wanting to nap. I tend to get cabin fever after a while and can't be boxed in. So, when the wife decided she wanted an ice cream from McDonalds, I did not put up a fight. The McDonald's at GA 400 and GA 306 has for years been operated by someone who has an affinity for older motorcycles. I remember the first time I walked in it there was an Indian Scout, and Indian Chief, a 1950s Harley, and a 1990 Harley Softail. Last year they embarked on a g...

A Guide to the New Ferrari 458 Italia’s Roots - Feature - Auto Reviews - Car and Driver Posted using ShareThis

Saturday a friend and I trekked our way south to Hampton, GA, home of "Atlanta Motor Speedway", so named despite the lack of proximity. Saturday afternoon was filled with practice sessions and cars flying in and out of the garage area while whistles blew to warn the less observant of oncoming race cars. As I set with my back to the garage and took this all in, I chuckled to see Mike Helton, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Director signing autographs. A couple drivers elected to utilize the high line around Atlanta Motor Speedway and found themselves a little to close to the SAFER Barrier walls and their cars showed the scars for it. Qualifying then followed for the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. who has had a miserable season with no wins qualified on the pole for the "B Series" race. When his crew informed him he had set the pole, his response was "(expletive deleted), Really?" Yes, Junior, really. And, we were as surprised as you were. Qualifying...

Last year our company hired a new consultant to add to our staff. When I am in the office, we are all sitting pretty closely together and can hear each others conversations quite plainly. The bosses designed it that way so others can assist when someone is working on a problem on the phone with a client. The new guy was working on an issue with a client on the phone, and the rest of us were not paying much attention to him as we were all intent on issues of our own. As he concluded the call, he said "Have a Successful Day." I stopped what I was doing and looked up. I then looked at my co-worker next to me and said, "what did Tony just say?" And about the same time, 7 other consultants all looked up and said, "Did he just say - have a successful day?" And the office errupted in laughter. We knew that this guy's gift of small talk, or as he calls it, "life between reboots", that pregnant time while waiting for a computer to start back up, was g...
