Back to the cave Batman you’re out numbered

A friend of mine just got back from a trip out west and and was telling me about San Antonio Texas and the bats that come out at dusk, I was amazed at the tale and looked up the site of the critters and heres a few facts of this phenomenon. The Congress Avenue Bridge spans Town Lake in downtown Austin and is home to the largest urban bat colony in North America. The colony is estimated at 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats. Each night from mid-March to November, the bats emerge from under the bridge at dusk to blanket the sky as they head out to forage for food. This event has become one of the most spectacular and unusual tourist attractions in Texas. The most spectacular bat flights are during hot, dry August nights, when multiple columns of bats emerge. I guess this gives Batman a whole new outlook on Crime Fighting. He is still my hero. You know Florida sure could use some of these to help fight the mosquito problem they have there.

Beautiful Weekend

This coming weekend is going to be really nice, the temps are going to be in the low 80′s and that will be heaven sent. I love summer and the warm weather, sitting on the front porch of th early morning drinking coffee, with the coolness in the air. Man o Man this is the life in laid back rural Georgia.

Bada Bing

Yeah we know those words from the Sopranos Super Hit on H B O . It’s the premier gangster series of corruption and money laundering. Tony Soprano the boss is always up
the business of making things profitable and running smoothly. Then theres the ladies, Tony do love the ladies.

But tonight he has a special on H B O about the wounded soldiers of Iraq. From the previews I have seen on T V, I think it will be a worth watch.Bada Bing Tony Soprano

Dog Fighting

This is something that I am Strongly Against. A dog is a living animal that hurts when injured just like we do. In my opinion any body that puts dogs in a fight, should let a dog grab them by the throat and see how much they like it. It is Cruel, Inhumane, and Criminal to participate in this vicious act. All the people who enjoy this kind of behavior are Sick and need professional help. All forms of animal fighting makes me sick to my stomach that anyone could call this a sport. Mike Vick should never be on a football field again. He should be stripped of all his riches and made to clean manure from the animal shelters across the nation at a rate of minimum wage for the rest of his life.

Brrrrur it’s going to be a cold winter

Please don’t put me in Jail

I really had a scare today, I had gotten my first speeding ticket ever and I have been driving for over 37 years. I knew that if I didn’t fight it that I had a fine to pay. I got online today to pay my fine ,and as I was looking at my ticket I realized I was to be in court this morning at 9:00 A M . Here I was at 3:15 looking to pay my fine. I got on the telephone and called and explained that I was to be in court this morning and I was trying to pay my fine. The lady was very helpful to me and told me that I had till 5:00 P M to pay or there would be a bench warrant issued. As I had the lady on the phone I told her that I was in the process of paying the fine as we speak. She stayed on the line with me to see that I was paying the fine, and when it got through to her ,she told me everything was O K and payment was made and no bench warrant would be issued. Thank God for the internet and bill paying online with our county office.

Well tonight is the night that someone may win the Mega Millions at The Georgia Lottery. I sure hope that it’s me. Wouldn’t it be great to get your family out of debt and make a difference in the lives of a lot of people. Give the worthy charity’s some funds to operate more effectively. You may even go out and buy a advertising company pays Bloggers to write their ad campaigns. I have read story’s of people that have won lottery’s told about how miserable their life was after winning. Sounds to me that these people just didn’t have a plan in life.

I can only dream of what it would be like to win that kind of money. I know my life would change drastically, and I hope it would be for the better. They say that a Fool and his money will soon Part. I whole heartedly believe that. There are so many deserving causes out there, that could use my help if I were to win that big ole lottery. If I won I think I would have to move from Bugtussel.

What A Dinner

This evening when I came home from work, my wonderful husband had prepared a meal that was just wonderful. He had went to the trouble of making Chicken Tenders, Turnip Greens, Pinto Beans, Cornbread, Fresh Garden Tomato, Fresh Garden Potato,creamed, and jalapeño pepper pickled wit juice to go over the Greens. It was delish. I have to rest after that big meal.See you next time!!

I hope this last line does not offend anybody,I was merely trying to add a little humor to the weather.

Nascar At Bristol Night Race

O K everybody loves Daytona, Talledega, Atlanta, Darlington, when it it comes to the NASCAR nextell circuit. But I love Bristol better than all those tracks together. It’s like you’re in a bowl and there is not a bad seat in the speedway. If you have never been to this night race,and get lucky enough to get tickets to go ,You had better take your ear plugs with you or you may never hear again. You can feel the vibration of all the Horsepower as the cars go around the track. I know this is going to be Kurt Busch’s night again. Ga Kurt

A cold Front hits Atlanta

Wow, it’s about time that the temperature dropped below 100 degrees in Atlanta. Today we have a cool 95 and it feels great to be below the mean 3 digit reading. Next week it is supposed to be a high of only 90-93 degrees. The cold front is arriving! I know this sounds a little extreme but those few degrees in temps can be the difference of life and death, especially for our senior citizens and the ones with health problems. Small children don’t do well in this oppressive heat either. I have 2 Jack Russell terriers that like to ride with me, and when it’s hot outside ,I carry my extra set of keys and leave the A/C on for the dogs when I have to leave my vehicle. If you see Baby’s or animals in a closed car in high heat, do the right thing and dial 911 immediately to report the cruel punishment.

R/C Cars and Trucks

Are there any Radio Control car and truck enthusiast out there. I have a monster truck that I have hopped up a little bit, it’s a Traxxas T Maxx 1/10th scale nitro burning truck. I have modified it with a Picco Max 26 engine this baby puts out 2.5 horse power. So runnung about 50+ MPH this baby will walk the dog. I can do wheelies on demand. If I am running 30 MPH all I have to do is give the throttle and this baby will do wheelies forever.Its a 4 wheel drive truck that can go almost anywhere.

I also have a Traxxas Nitro 4 Tech with a 3.3 nitro engine that will do over 70 + MPH It is 4 wheel drive car and I can spin it out at 55 easy. You have just gor to see one these Nitro Burning vehicles in action to believe it. There are tracks all over the world and they race these things and have championships and all. Because it is real racing. It is relatively inexpensive to get started in this wonderful hobby.

Having Fun with Coke

The Coca Cola Company has been producing the best soda in the world for years. I can still remember when there was just Coke. Now today you can have a variety of treats from the Atlanta based company. The Coke Family has grew to include brands like Diet Coke, Cherry Coke, and Coke zero. All quality products from a quality company.

Now Coke has a great way to have some fun on the computer while you’re sipping on your Coke. They have taken pieces of old movies and put them on a website. You can add in your own words and make actors or actresses from the past say what you tell them to! It’s really pretty cool and you can have hours of fun with this. Create your own little movie and send it to all your friends to see! It will be something they would never expect and be prepared to answer “How did you do that?”, because that would be my first question if someone sent me a movie like this. So go grab a icy cold Coke and sit back and have some fun on the computer!

I’m so tired

I haven’t slept a wink, I’m so tired, my mind is on the blink. The words from a Beatles Hit that came so true for me after I had back surgery. I think that I have heard of the word Sleep before, a long time ago. Sleep has been a major problem since the surgery. I have gone as many as 4 days without sleep, and I can tell you personally that it is a serious problem when you walk around like a zombie. I have a implanted pump in the stomach area, that pumps morphine into my spine 24/7,but the pain is still there. Maybe one day that I will be able to get 5 or 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep, then It will be a whole new world for me.
