More Pics (Clemson Basketball)

Last week it was Terrence Oglesby, this week it is Raymond Sykes and David Potter. The picture was taken as we were going into the game. Coach Purnell is doing a great job of recruiting really good kids. Both were really nice guys and seemed to enjoy having their picture made with Eddie and Logan.

Clemson Football Round 2

This week it was Logan's turn for Clemson Football. At first I didn't think I was going to the game but the wedding we had on Saturday night wasn't until 7:30 so that allowed us time to go. I can't remember the last time I left at 11:15am for a 1:00pm start. Actually it wasn't that bad, we were still in our spot by 12:15. The game went as expected but the highlight was the South Carolina State Marching Bank (The 101). Clemson's halftime concessions sells had to take a huge hit. No One left their seats and they were not disappointed. I had seen them several years ago at a Furman game and knew what to expect. The weather was perfect, Logan had a great time, Half-time show was great, and the football game was good. All in all a very nice afternoon.

Week-End In Clemson

Anna and I spent Friday Night in the motorhome with Noah and Bryson. Then breakfast Saturday Morning, then on to the game. Why Clemson continues to schedule noon starts for early September home games is beyond reason. It was soo hot and they didn't have any COLD water. You would think they would take some of the tv money and invest in an ice machine that could keep up. The "Nitro Rev" with his able body assistant "Beach Babe" came by to visit us Saturday Morn. Together they are fighting Sin in the Midlands and through out the greater Isle of Palms region. You asked for pictures (Peggy) you got-em.

Square 1 on the field

Anyone at the game this past Saturday got a chance to see Square 1 at work. Our pop-out signs lined the backline in the west endzone. Someone told me they thought there would not be 65k at the game. I think the final total was 75k. Not bad for Citadel. What really sucks this year is they are requiring motorhomes to be in their spot 3 hours before the game or they will start filling your spot with cars. This makes no sense. It seems to me that if you have paid for this spot it should be yours no matter what time you show up.

Which Georgia?

We are giving $1billion to Georgia? Where is this money coming from? This country is lead by example. We wonder why so many people are drowning in cc debt. Why so many are losing their homes because they bought so far out of their price range and financed it a 125% of value. Its because they are only following the example of the WhiteHouse and now the McCain/Palin. This is why I can no longer vote for the irresponsible idiots. Everyone is panning over Sarah Palin, saying she is one of us. Their right. She probably is like them. Spending money and going into debt without any thought on how to pay for it. Ask the citizens of her town. Before she was mayor- ZERO DEBT, when she left - 22 million dollars in debt. Now this is for a town of @8000. In othe words she handed each citizen a bill for $2750.00. GWB has spent this country into bankruptcy and now they want to give Georgia $1billion dollars?
Hey, I'm an Atlanta Braves fan. Give the money to our Georgia. We can build up the Braves and the Falcons and buy everyone a hotdog from the Varsity. Makes as much sense.

Ok, how does this stupid thing work

I've done it. I have broke down and purchased a blackberry. So far it's just a fancy phone with a keyboard. I don't know why I have such a hard time with these things. Heck, I know the difference between a 268 and 280 pantone color. I am very knowledgeable with photoshop and many other graphic programs, or why I can operate a 72" printer and I can't figure out how to sit this stupid e-mail up. I can't even change out the ringtone. The bottom line is I'm going to have to have someone walk me through this thing. Probably my kids.
Oh well, I probably can't think straight because my head is still spinning from McCain's pick as VP. I'm trying to understand the reasoning behind this. If it is because she is a woman I can think of at lot of republican women 100 times more qualified. Kaye Bailey Hutchinson, Christie Todd-Whitman or Elizabeth Doyle to name a few. I think this choice scares me more than anything. That someone who has basically governed the city of Pickens and Richland County is a heartbeat away from the presidency. I also feel sorry for her children especially the teenager who is pregnant. They are leaving the security and no media scrutiny of Alaska to have their lives plastered everywhere. And who is going to take care of the downs child? My sister can tell you that this is no easy task. I'm just confused with this pick. What was she or McCain thinking?
