Last full day in North Carolina. I did see something that I don't believe you'll see in other states this morning on my way in..... the gas station advertised on their outside sign: "50 cents off two packs of cigarettes". Only in a tobacco producing state! It's starting to get warm again which is more usual for this area I'm told.... not that MN is much better right now. Where's fall at?
Found an inspiring story last night. It's a long read but the gist of it is this 19 year old, from the country of Malawi in Africa, is building a windmill with his engineering skillz while studying engineering. Pretty inspiring to see what someone with the creative desire can do without having it take a ton of money! Photos of his progress can be seen here. Good stuff.
One more comment about the drug-totin', drunk-drivin'....... now totally-denyin' LiLo. In an article last night, I read this:
That behavior won’t cut it anymore and neither will spa-style clinics, said Barry Gerald Sands, a Century City defense attorney who’s also a certified drug and alcohol counselor. “Whatever you have done in the past, do a 360-degree turn and go the other way,” Sands said Wednesday. “She has to change her alleged friends, people sharing or selling her drugs. She has to lead a clean and sober life.
So obviously Mr. Sands is an attorney AND certified drug and alcohol counselor so is deemed by the writer of the article as an "expert". And also obviously, math was not required for either one of those expertis.....es as a 360-degree turn would not take you "the other way". Comments like that make you appear stupid so don't use them.
Nintendo is skyrocketing (as expected) right now. They've sold almost..... 10...... MILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLION Wiis since launch. That was my best Dr. Evil imitation over cyber space - did it work? I also saw that Super Mario Brothers 2 was released for the Virtual Console this month so that gives me something to look forward to playing in the hot month of August. Fly Princess Fly!!! IBM stock is looking good lately as well!
Haiku of the Day

left-right, left-right, b, a, START"
Bring me my CONTRA!!!
Entertainment of the Day - I think there may (or may not) be a new movie coming out tomorrow... can't remember. I haven't watched any new movies yet, I should work on that one of these days. As for some good music (another bad thing about being in meetings all day, no time to listen to music) - but in honor of a crappy bowling captain who shall remain nameless, let's go back to Elvis singing "Viva Las Vegas" for today's song of the day!
Weblink of the Day - I found this pretty simple at first, but very addictive. Just follow the instructions in the upper left.
