Sunday Night Stream Of Consciousness...

- This blog is getting to be a one-trick pony...one post a week leaves readers in suspense and more than a bit frustrated...will try to post more frequently, to keep at least one reader satisfied. (you know who you are.)

- Memo from Chinese government to Chinese citizenry: Thank you for your kind patience and understanding while our country was in the world's spotlight the past 16 days. We now return you to your regularly scheduled repression and human rights violations, already in progress.

- The Chinese took the most gold, the U.S. of A the most medals overall. Moral victory?

- From the department of sudden departures from this life: a truck on southbound I-55 lost a rear wheel and axle yesterday around 2:00. Said tire and axle flew through the air, and landed in the windshield of a northbound SUV. The driver was killed instantly. I happened by the scene and watched the fire dept. clean it up for a bit from a nearby commuter lot; not a pretty picture. Especially since I-55 was closed in both directions for several hours.

- pretty dull weekend for this blogger - took the doggie to Petsmart to pick up some more dog chow....did some miscellaneous shopping (found a small table lamp for my office room, yay.)

- was children's church day at church today. the kiddies showed off what they learned in the summer children's program we do every year. The older kids did a cute re-written parody of The Monkees' "I'm A Believer" that made me smile.

- The Atlanta Braves are a shell of their former selves these days...only a couple of recognizable names on their team. Don't know why the Cardinals felt obligated to give them a win yesterday when we're the ones in a pennant race.
