Falcons fall to 3 - 10.

This just in: Fulton County Commissioners call emergency session to contact Cobb County and beg that they return the Braves in exchange for the Falcons!

A date which will live in infamy

Happy Turkey Day!

Number One Pick

If you had the #1 NFL draft pick, who would you choose? I'm asking for a friend who works for the Atlanta Falcons.

Braves moving to Cobb County!

The main reason the Braves plan to move to Cobb County in 2017. Much easier to give directions to the new stadium ... "Just down the road from the Big Chicken."

Thank You!

Problem Solvers?

Whenever I am in southern Missouri visiting my folks, who have no WiFi or cable TV, we often sit under the very old hickory tree and solve the world problems. Since it seems there are more problems in the world today than ever before, we have apparently been doing a lousy job.

 

D'oh!

Major misunderstanding on the part of the Atlanta Falcons. Instead of falling back one hour today, they fell back 13 years to become the team they were in 2000.

Just Relax

(From my friend Mike)

In case you had a rough week, here's a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile.

1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.
2. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water.
3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.
4. No one knows your secret place.
5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world.
6. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
7. The water is so clear that you can make out the face of the politician you are holding underwater.

See it worked. You're smiling. You feel better already.

Affordable Tax Payment Act

I am planning on opening a website on December 1, 2013. The government will then have the opportunity to navigate my site, and request that I pay taxes to them in 2014. If they prefer, they may keep their current tax system if they are happy with it.

Warning:

A ... My system may crash at any given time or have links that lead to nowhere in particular.

B ... I lied about the government being able to keep the current tax system they now enjoy.

C ... If, for some odd reason, the government does get my website to work, they will encounter “sticker shock” informing them that I will be paying 40-60% less tax than they expected.

When gas was 26 cents a gallon

The year was 1948.  And on October 26th of that year ... my folks got married.  Happy 65th Wedding Anniversary Mom & Day!!  I love you so much.

The Shut Down!

Here's an idea. Open everything that the government has shut down. And then shut down Congress, the Senate, and the White House. Problem solved.

The day after Columbus Day

Little known Christopher Columbus fact: Christopher's original name was Cristoforo Colombo. Lucky for us Christopher changed his name. Otherwise we would be celebrating "Peter Falk" Day.

Atlanta Sports

Just discovered that both the Falcons and Braves work for the government and "shut down."

Game Day!

Congrats to the Braves!
