London Bridge - 37 Years Ago

Ok, so I found this a bit odd, yet insightful. Back in the day, growing up, I think we all remember the song "London Bridge". Its a weird tune, quite short, and well, sad.... I mean, a bridge in London is falling down, and you are the one signing it to a fair lady!!! But now... here is the real story that I heard on Fox News Report "This Day in History".
In 1962, the London Bridge was falling down. Built in 1831, the bridge couldn't handle the ever-increasing flow of traffic across the Thames River.

The British government decided to put the bridge up for sale, and Robert McCulloch, Founder of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Chairman of McCulloch Oil Corporation, submitted the winning bid of $2,460,000. The bridge was dismantled, and each stone was numbered. Everything was shipped 10,000 miles to Long Beach, California, and then trucked to Lake Havasu City. Reconstruction began on September 23, 1968, with a ceremony including the Lord Mayor of London, who laid the cornerstone. On October 10, 1971, the new bridge was dedicated.

WHO KNEW????

Chilly Frosty Mornings

This morning I woke up to the atomic clock and thermometer reading 33 degrees! 33!!!!
That means it technically could SNOW! Its only October 10th! Good thing I covered up the geraniums last night, otherwise, they'd be dead. We are hoping to keep them alive by bringing them inside, but we hope we don't have to do it just yet. We'll see how long this cold spell lasts. They do say the temps should climb to mid 60's today and even in the 70's this weekend.

A PEPSI PLEA

BUY PEPSI : BUY DIET PEPSI : BUY MOUNTAIN DEW : BUY AQUAFINA : BUY BUY BUY
Our stock has dropped $4 in the last 2 days. Yes, it goes hand in hand with the market but YOU can make a difference. Find those sales, find those 2 Liter 99cent deals, find those buy "5 12packs for $10" promotions. Its all about volume. Fill your grocery carts with Pepsi products and steer clear of the enemy! Tell me who you want me to support and I'll get on the train.

Who's winning?

I can't help but watch the Presidential Debates. I don't know why. I can remember growing up and HATING that I had nothing to watch that night because Channel 2, 4, and 7 were pummled with old men bickering back and forth. Nothing has changed... except now, beyond those 3 channels, 100 more are now covering the same damn thing.
Of course, each channel has a different view and opinion on who's winning, or who nailed who with what statistics. See? I still hate it... BUT I STILL WATCH IT. Its almost like an accident on the highway. You can't stand sitting in the traffic trying to get by, but when its your turn to pass, you too, slow down and want to see the carnage! Hell, that's another reason we all like NASCAR. THE CRASHES.
Ok, I have gone off point here, but still can't wait to see who they think is winning. God knows, Connecticut is Obama country, but as of now, the Rocks isn't buying it. We'll see.
