IBM posted profit (as announced yesterday) for our 2nd Quarter (YAY!). We even beat out expectations but I'm sure our stock will still find a way to fall. I hate Wall Street - bunch of pansies that make too much money but control too much of Corporate America. When do the oil companies announce their newest record profit for the 6th quarter in a row?
I'll probably jinx them, but the Atlanta Braves are on a tear as of late! They've won 7 straight games, have scored 10 or more runs in the past 5 games (tie-ing a MLB record) and hopefully will be above .500 by next week! They're back in the hunt for a wildcard bid which might actually prove to be the better path based on history. The Twins are still making a run as well - they're less than 10 back of the Tigers, 6 behind the White Sox. Go Twins and Go Braves!!
And College Football talk has begun (Aug 31st at home vs. Toledo starts the Cyclones tear to a BCS game this year). ISU returns 9 offensive starters (including hopefully a healthy Stevie) and 4 defensive starters (we lost 2 more to drugs and 'roids I think but gained a transfer from Michigan State). Unfortunately we still have Culbertson who misses the field goals when we need them. The joy of ISU football. 9 of the 12 games are against teams that went to a bowl game, which is an overrated stat since 75% of college football teams can go to a _____.com bowl). At Iowa and At Texas in weeks 3 and 4, September could be a rough month for us. GO CLONES!!!
Song of the Day - Some classic GreenDay this morning on the drive in.... Time of Your Life which is a good song now that it's not overplayed as radio stations have a tendancy to do with GreenDay (Take Wake Me Up.... for instance).
Video of the Day - I need to go buy SuperTroopers this weekend. That's a well done movie (meow), that makes me laugh (meow) everytime I see it. I CALL SHENANIGANS!!!! The guys from Broken Lizard have a new movie called Beerfest coming out - should be good!

Webpage of the Day - Yet another way for Rochester to make National Headline news..... 14 foot inflatable sheep missing - it wasn't me but I wish I'd have thought of that!
