From The Corner Of My Mind

* The Rev. Billy Graham was admitted to a hospital Wednesday for symptoms related to pneumonia. Did you know that he He has preached to more people than any person in history? More than 3.2 million have responded to his invitation to make Christ their Savior and Lord. His lifetime audience exceeds 2.2 billion; he has known personally every president since Harry Truman.No one would have predicted such success for him as a boy. Growing up on a dairy farm in North Carolina, he was known more for mischief than spirituality. His conversion at the age of 16 during a summer revival made no headlines. He went to Bible college, but not seminary. He pastored only one small church before beginning his evangelistic work.
* Yeah, I copied and pasted all of that. Amazing nonetheless.
* The next few weeks will be filled for W-spouse and I. Christmas parties at work. Extended family Christmas gatherings and Christmas with our children on Christmas eve will fill nearly every weekend between now and then. Add to that a full work schedule and there will be no rest for the next three weeks.
* We have gotten to visit with both the grand babies the last two nights. They are growing up so fast, and changing every day.
* There were more videos of the talking animals posted on our group message yesterday. We won't be posting those.
* W-spouse keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. It's either a new laptop, or this tool set, or this tool set, or this tool set.
* Or a new one of these!
* Or a new one of these!
* Or a new one of these!
* Or a new one of these!
* Hey, it doesn't hurt to ask!
*  Ratherbesailin:  Actually I have had this very same argument/discussion with someone else.
Two things that I(and others like me) don't like or agree with not pitting under a caution.
#1. If we keep changing the rules in NASCAR, doesn't it take away from the legitimacy of the sport? It's hard enough already trying to prove that NASCAR is a SPORT, and it's drivers ARE athletes, just like your top NBA,NFL and NHL players
#2. Under the right conditions, not pitting under a caution, or losing your spot on the track for doing so, would give certain teams the upper hand. (I could give you a thousand reasons why, but you watch the sport and you probably can come up with a few of them on your own).
