One of my good friends, Spencer, is doing a lot of yard work and asked me to help him out this weekend. He has helped me a lot in the past, so I just couldn’t say no. I believe that friendship is a two way street. If someone helps you out, then you have an obligation to help them when they need it from you. So, I’ll be playing in the dirt at Spencer’s house this weekend. Stop by and bring us some cold drinks, will ya?

Playoffs?
Only one of the home teams won in their playoff games this weekend. The Pittsburgh Steelers won all the other home teams Tennessee, New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers all lost. I remember the years when a home playoff game meant certain victory and this year was not like that at all. Let us hope that the home teams win this weekend and the Cards and Steelers meet in Super Bowl 43 in Tampa Florida. It would be a huge match up for me and all Cardinal fans all over the world, all 148 of us.
Long lines
The long lines at the gas stations have begun to ease up a bit, some of the lines over the weekend had waits of over 2 hours. I am not a real fan of waiting for anything let alone gasoline in a vehicle with no air conditioning. Now the AAA is saying that only 30% of the stations here do not have gasoline and the lines are very small compared to the line from the weekend. It looks like everything may be back to normal here by the start of the weekend. I remember the gas rationing that we had in 1973 in Oklahoma only one station in our little town and almost no gasoline I really hope we never get to that level again although it seemed like we were headed that way the last few eeks here in Nashville. With no gasoline at a lot of gas stations and long lines at the ones who did have gasoline.
