Bugs

The one part of spring I hate is that the bugs come out and start to harass the humans, we here in the south get ants, ticks, flies and a plethora of other bugs all coming at us all spring and summer. We spray, swat and trap to our exhaustion we even bought a bug zapper so we could try to use our yard in the spring but even that fails to give us any protection.

Overtime

A huge win for the Nashville Predators tonight in St. Louis they came from a 0-3 deficit to win 4-3 in overtime. Funny thing was we got four goals from four non scorers, the first two lines did not chip in at all. If we ever hit on all cylinders we might be a tough match up for the playoffs. Dan Ellis was pulled after the Blues made 3 goals on their first 7 shots, Chris Mason played well and got the win.

Concert

Going to a concert tonight with Randy Owen the lead singer of Alabama,  and Restless Heart, I have seen the full group Alabama a couple of times but have never seen Restless Heart. It is a charity event of which they have a lot of in Nashville.

A lot of country stars as well as surprisingly a lot of old rockers live in this area. I have ran into Peter Frampton in the grocery store here and had a long conversation with him.

Gloomy weather

It has rained the last few days and today while it has not rained yet it is very gloomy and depressing, I really need to have some sunlight on my face in the next few days to make up for this gloomy weather we have been having.

Except they are calling for cloudy and rain everyday for the next five days. Sheesh when is spring going to arrive.

Cloudy nights

Mercury dime

Today at work I found a 1924 Mercury Dime it is a bit worn but you would have to think it was worth a bit of money. I have no idea where to look online to see what old coins are worth but I am going to do a bit of searching to see what this little piece of silver is worth.

I find old coins from time to time and I always try to grab them up and save them, I need to get a site where I can look up the value of these old coins.
