Wow, I had no idea what the all you can do with the new iphone. I guess it would be worth $499.00.

Live Earth Makes Going Green Global.



I am always amazed how people believe a group of musicians can really make a big difference with a concert. I remember the Live Aid, Farm Aid, and many other types of "Aid" concerts and the very limited impact that they had on the cause they were supporting.

Oh NO!!!




I have some very bad news to report. I went with my dad and nephew Drake to the Legends Race and Fireworks on Tuesday. While at the race, I wanted to check on a few things on my blackberry. I was shocked when the it would not work, and I was afraid that Sun Pet did not pay their phone bill (blackberry is for work). I got to Atlanta on Wednesday (yes, i had to work on Independence Day) and I learned that Sun Pet is switching to a regular, LG sprint phone (ahhhhggghahghaghahgha). I can not believe this, and they did not ask my opinion before they decided to do this. Can you Believe that.

Splitting Hairs, Edwards's Stylist Tells His Side of Story - washingtonpost.com

I feel very fortunate to be "hair challenged" instead of having to spend that much for a haircut. I can't believe anyone who is for the "poor" and the "2 Americas" would spend that much money on a haircut.

Cute Story

> Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.

"You know" he said,
"I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I
drove it for a while?"

The driver said,
"No problem Have at it."

Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap.

The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone.

The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure. The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving.

He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor.

He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law... But I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."

The supervisor asked,
"Is it the governor?"

The young trooper said,
"No, he's more important than that."

The supervisor said,
"Oh, so it's the president."

The young trooper said,
"No, he's even more important than that."

The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"

The young trooper said,

"I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham
for a chauffeur!"

An Atheist and the Bear

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that evolution had created.

"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself. As he was walking along the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. When he turned to see what the casue was, he saw a 7-foot grizzly charging right towards him. He ran as fast as he could. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing, He ran even faster, crying in fear. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up, but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that moment, the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don''t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice.

The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed.

And then the bear dropped his right paw ..... brought both paws together...bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."
