Outstanding
F1 
Another young driver gets his first win - Vettel takes pole, and wins in the red cars' back yard.
All the podium finishers are young drivers who will be the champions of the future.
Dawgs
Well, it was ugly, but they come away with a W over the anti-christ himself. It will not get any easier, and Richt will be forced to find a new motivation every week. The most bothersome side to the performance is the continued lack of any meaningful pass defence; that will be the downfall, I'm afraid.
Hockey Mom
It is VERY hard to believe the republitards chose her for the #2 slot ... good grief !!!

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise !
Let's take this in some sembelance of order:
F1
McLaren/Hamilton robbed again. Hamilton gets penalized 25 seconds after winning the Belium GP and his final finishing position is 3rd. He did something others did during the race, and he complied with the regs and allowed the red car to regain its position before overtaking for good. I really believe FIA has a SERIOUS grudge against McLaren, and will do whatever possible to keep them from winning the manufacturer's AND driver's championships.
On another note ... kudos to Heidfeld for gambling on a change to wet tires with 2 laps to go.
Summer on the coast
Thought we might evacuate for Hanna, but got a pass. Ike is still churning across the Carribean, and could still come this way. Time to organize the evacuation plan.
Election
Unbelievable that McCain picks Sarah Palin ... her track record of decisions isn't the best. I speak from personal knowledge regarding her pick to become the new head of the Alaska State Trroper: multiple sexual harassment complaints, a known adulterer, and who knows what else. I think she selected him because he agreed (in advance) to fire a state trooper she had a personal beef with. Wonderful way to run an administration.
Baisbol
It appears the Braves had best look to next year ... pay whatever is needed to get some adequate pitching, and consistent hitting.
Dawgs
Two wins against minor league teams ... now the real season begins and I'm afraid it won't be pretty. Except for Tennessee, future opponents this year looked pretty good so far. The newest UGA looks pretty good:

A BIG ONE
F1
A very good season so far: The red team and McLaren about ten points apart, with BMW lurking close by; Points being won by teams/drivers you wouldn't expect; so far, nothing "political" screwing things up. And, according to a London court, apparently Mosely's aberrant sado-masochistic behavior as a whacked-out nazi isn't a bad thing for F1. Good grief.
FLETC
The "Center of Excellence" is becoming less a mystery day by day. I wish I could say the same for issues I have to deal with on the personnel side ... I knew the job was complex, but the current conditions I'm dealing with are NOT fun.
Baisbol
Braves are mid-pack and show no tendencies of improving. The pitching staff ain't much and even with the team hitting well most days it will be a long time before the season ends ... sigh.
DAWGS
Well, most pre-season polls show the Dawgs #1 -- I expect this to be the usual kiss of death. We'll see.
The Great Land
We're off to AK next friday; I have two days of meetings, and we'll see friends until flying back on the 23rd. Bittersweet.

BMW History
F1 
BMW gets its' first win !! Due in no small part to Hamilton's immaturity which eliminated both he and Raikkonen , F1's first Polish driver gets his first for BMW. However, it was well deserved, and I'm sure this will not be BMW's last this year; the machines are seemingly bullet-proof, and both drivers are talented. Overall an excellent race, and thank the Lord that FOX (quite unbelievably) had the smarts to keep the SPEEDTV announcers -- a F1 race being called and commented on without "the boys" (Varsha, Hobbs, and Machett) would have made the Canadian, French, and British races unbearable to watch.

D' Braves
This season is a roller coaster ride of ominous proportions ... pitching staff decimated, injuries galore, Chipper leading the league with a .400+ average, brief shining moments from the rest, and it gets too painful to follow at times.
Life in South GA
It's not even July, and we've seen 90+ degrees a few days already. It forces me to mow grass early in the morning, and tend to other outside chores after 6pm. Our first summer will be brutal, but we'll survive better than we did the last time we lived down here, and didn't have the luxury of air-conditioning.

One of favorite comic strips ... this guy thinks WAY outside the box ! And, in regard to the strip below, I'm one of those wierd males who actually like cats ... this is just FUNNY.
