Speedway incentives questioned???

Concord bit off more than they could chew by taking on Bruton Smith. He got 80 million dollars, and Speedway Blvd will now be named after him. Concord once again was the big loser in this showdown.

Health care giants take message straight to Kannapolis residents.


It should be interesting who will win this battle, Carolinas Medical Center or Presbyterian. If I was a betting man, I would bet on CMC over Presbyterian. I think I would prefer Presbyterian, since I've had better results with them over the years.

Need a Laugh?

SICK LEAVE
I urgently needed a few days off work, But, I knew the
Boss would not allow me to take leave.
I thought that maybe if I acted "Crazy"
Then he would tell me to take a few days off.
So, I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny
noises.
My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was
doing.
I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb,
So, that the Boss might think I was "Crazy" and give
me a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and
asked, "What in the name of good GOD are you doing?"
I told him I was a light bulb.
He said, "You are clearly stressed out."
Go home and recuperate for a couple of days."
I jumped down and walked out of the office...
When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the
Boss asked her, "..And where do you think you're
going?!"

(You're gonna love this....)


She said, "I'm going home too. I can't work in the
dark.

Indian Girl Recovering After Risky Surgery to Remove Four Extra Limbs.

Wow, she was born with 4 arms and 4 legs. It's great news that the surgery was successful and that she will live a normal life. They have a picture with the article, but I did not want to post it here so it would not offend anyone. It's rather gruesome, in my opinion.

US scientists engineer 'mighty mice'



I sure hope that we don't start delivering these rats at Sunpet. It's hard enough to catch the ones that escape now, and I can't imagine how many it would take to catch these "mighty mice".

Giuliani a surprise hit in S.C.


I'm still undecided about who to support. I'm glad that N.C. is not one of the early voting states, because the number still running should be down to a couple by time we go to the primary next year.

I-85 widening meeting!



Happy Halloween! I wanted to share with you a very scary story. I know many of you drive Interstate 85 and you get caught in the terrible bottleneck from UNCC through Concord. The county is growing so fast, and they do not plan to widen the interstate until 2011! Four years and it's only going to get worse.

In Atlanta, they added one lane to Interstate 85 for 3 miles in less than a month. I don't know why they can't do the same thing here in North Carolina.

K&W Cafteria map was the only one I could find on goggle. I'm not quite old enough to become a BIG fan of K&W yet :-)

Coach accused of exposing buttocks after soccer loss!



I guess this is more proof that soccer is a sorry sport, unless Duke's team make the final four or wins the national championship. I wonder if the coach was english, since their fans are famous for being crazy about the sport (and streaking at wimbledon, wembley stadium, etc).

No Backup if Atlanta's Faucets Run Dry!

Full-tilt fun at the NC State fair!


The NC State Fair opened over the weekend. I have only been once, on a field trip at NKCA. I hate fairs and believe that they are a big waste of money. I guess if I would have graduated from South Rowan, then I may have a different opinion. I would prefer to spend my money on real amusements like Cedar Point, Carowinds, etc.

6-year-old tries to drive to restaurant

Congress considers Concord a third world city! LOL



This is awesome! I've always known that Concord was sick, but I had no idea it was so bad that you need the following shots to visit:

hepatitis A
hepatitis B
tetanus
diphtheria
influenza

I know that concord is inferior to KANNAPOLIS, but I had no idea that they were basically a third world city. I'm sure glad the "Battle for the Bell" will be played in Kannapolis this year.

"Jack Bauer" to Do Jail Time on DUI Charge!




The judge was nice to put him in jail while he's on winter break from 24. I would have been upset if "Jack" was finally stopped by some lowly traffic judge after defeating muslims, chinese, and europeans over the years.

I guess in the new age of global warming, summer will not end until halloween. We will have to change the kind of costumes that we wear in future years. The old costumes could possibly lead to heat stroke for our young people.

Flag of Mexico Flown Illegally Over Reno Business!

Forgetful???

Ed was in trouble. He had forgotten his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry. She told him, "Tomorrow morning I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less then 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"

The next morning Ed got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box, gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe, ran out to the driveway, and brought the box into the house. She opened it and found ....




a brand new bathroom scale.

Ed has been missing for over a week.

Sutherland charged with misdemeanor DUI



It sounds like "Jack Bauer" could end up in jail if he is found guilty of violating his probation for a 04 DUI. I guess he will be starring in a prisonbreak spin off if this happens. I guess people will never learn to not "drink and drive".
