Bill: It looks like we may be losing one blog. Mine is acting very reminiscent of The Great Crash of March 2006. Very unstable and I don't have the time or inclination to fight it.

What's Wrong With This Picture?

TAG! YOU'RE (full of sh)IT!

http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=2606557&page=1

Over the last couple of weeks a few schools have banned the game of tag.
It's just too dangerous both physically and mentally for our little darlings to
continue playing. What in the hell are we coming to with this insanity?
It appears the same thing has happened to dodge ball.

Part of the reasoning behind this is to avoid accidents during recess.
I don't understand why at every turn we need to protect kids from
skinned knees and elbows. They're a common part of growing up. We're
going to be a nation of crybabies in a generation or two if this garbage is
allowed to continue. Who didn't proudly display the scabs from an horrific
bicycle wreck as a kid? Don't chicks dig scars?

What I find even more disturbing is that the motivation for this lunacy also
includes protecting kids from the emotional let down of being eliminated.
It is called failure. Everyone fails at something on many occasions during
their lifetime. It isn't fun, but it happens. You either deal with it or you
don't. In my humble opinion you are better suited to deal with failure on
major issues as adults, like relationships and jobs, if you've been allowed to
fail at minor things, like dodgeball and tag, as a child.

Honestly I'm not even certain why they consider tag an elimination game.
When I was a kid, five to ten of us would run around like little idiots slapping
each other and shouting "tag you're it" without ever sitting down. That would
go on until we were forced to quit by an adult, got distracted by a snake, or just
plain exhausted.

What's next?

Civic Center Craft Show




If you're into Crafts, the Civic Center is the place to be this weekend. We even found a bottle of shampoo with our "NEMO" on the label.

One of the Exhibitors tried to sell me a Pound Cake and when we picked it up we said, this isn't a pound. She replied, it's actually 2 pounds. I said, then it's not a Pound Cake. She replied, yes it really is. I said, no, it's a Double Pound Cake or a Double Pounder. She said, if you cut it in half it would be a Pound Cake. I said, no, if you cut it in half it would be a half a Pound Cake. She stood there for quite a while trying to say something but was too dumbfounded to get anything out. I Won!

Today is the last day so make sure you get out and check it out. Tell the Lady with the Pound Cake I said hello. LOL

Station 7





The long awaited arrival of the new Pittsville Restaurant named Station 7 is just around the corner. The addition is complete, the hoods are in, the beer lines and soda lines are installed in the upper and lower bar, the drywall is being installed as we speak and the paint is going on the walls where code calls for it.

Todd and Carol Wampler couldn't be more excited, AND exhausted! The photos above will give you an idea just how far they've come but within the next 2 weeks, well, things will be complete and a Grand Opening will be the talk of the Town.

Get a look at that one photo of the new hood just installed! That's a HUGE hood! The bar upstairs was being stained yesterday and I gotta tell you Folks, they did a nice job upstairs! The Salisbury area needed a good restaurant, one that everyone can brag about and this is going to be the place, you'll see!
