1.  Hurricane Ike has passed us by well to our south, and that’s exactly what I forecasted it to do last week. As Ike was heading in this general direction suddenly everyone around me had become instant hurricane experts. I had to listen to a lot of ridiculous explanations about how hurricanes interact with high pressure systems and such. Some of it even defied science !  I merely listened and kept quiet, but it was very hard to do so at times. After all is said and done one thing is certain. I got it right.

2.  Today and tomorrow (while supplies last) you can pick up 3-dozen assorted fresh-baked cookies from Publix (where shopping is a pleasure) for the low low price of just $3.49 (on sale from the regular price of $5.09). At $3.49 for 3-dozen that’s less than a dime per cookie. Dude that rocks my world !

3.  I ended a self-imposed 99-day boycott of The Atlanta Bread Company yesterday morning. I actually ate Lunch there. The meal was not very good, and the customer service was not very good. My hot sandwich was cold, and I didn’t even receive the potato chips that come with it. I had to walk back up to the counter to retrieve them. It’s a nice fancy restaurant decor wise. It’s a shame that the food and the service don’t match the decor.

4.  My brother should resurrect his WordPress blog. Even if he only blogs in it once a week that would be good enough. How about a funny TOP 10 list or something similiar to my weekly ‘Monday Night Countdown’ ?  My brother is the funniest guy I know. He’s also cooler than global warming.

5.  I’m going on this trip next May into June:

It includes 3 states that I’ve never set foot in – Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. It’ll be another vacation of a lifetime.
