SG - how are things down your way today?

My SIL bought me a hanging piece that is made of ceramic chilis to put in the kitchen. and we have a string of chili pepper lights that we put above the bar in the family room.

And speaking of my SIL she's goinng to be arriving in about an hour, so I'm not giong to be around today.

We're going to check out some of the gerden centers I found and have been waiting to go to until she arrives, then we plan to head over to Chingoteague for lunch and some browsing around.

It's so much nicer over there now that all the tourists are gone.

I saw on the news last night that this was going to be re-aired.....as if it was of national importance! lol

Thank you for thinking of me, SG! I'm glad you have the taste and sense to hate the Candycanes. I don't get the channel the game was on, but Howard does. He called at half-time while I was making dinner whining about how his team could lose the game. Like I care! Idiot! He does that just to be annoying. He does a lot of things to be annoying, but that's a VERY long story... Anyway, I followed the score on a sports channel up here, and finally saw the awful result. Did it actually take 20 minutes to play the last 2 minutes? :^) Actually, I think this channel is slack for some reason about posting final scores. Probably to make us sit through more commercials...

"I hate Chevys. I do like Jr but not chevys."

I get a big kick out of his interviews. I have yet to hear a coherent statement out of his mouth. I have no idea how his team figures out the condition of his car and what adjustments he needs. Have you ever heard his radio communication? It is hilarious. My opinion, without his last name he would never be on a WC team. However, I think he is a great driver to sponsor, his popularity drives wild ratings for any sponsor of him!

Must be the concusion.

Do you mean the one from when his momma dropped him on his head as an infant?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Precisely.
