Old Skool pics

Posted some old school pictures on my facebook, thought I would throw a few on here just in case some of you could not get on FB.

In health-care plan, give secession a chance.

This is a very interesting and slightly depressing take on what the problem with healthcare is. I have always been a little skeptical about southern society, I have always felt the south's hospitality is double speak. The numbers about tax distribution make me a bit sick. I think it is too drastic, but I wonder if proposed how southerners would feel.

A scary quote I hope is not true.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, maybe the thing about Barack Obama that offends the red states most is neither that he is black, nor that he is somehow socialist pink, but that he is very, very "blue" -- a liberal college professor with a foreign-sounding name and lots of overseas fans. According to one poll, nearly half of southerners question whether he can really be the legitimate president.

dear Charlotte drivers

Dear Charlotte Drivers,

I respectfully suggest a few small things that may make highway travel safer and more enjoyable.

1. If there is a HOV lane to the left hand side, that is not the fast lane and you are in fact IN the fast lane yourself, drive accordingly please.

2. If you look to the right and no one is there, that is where your car belongs. One should use the left hand lane for overtaking only, then merge right.

3. If someone is behind you and flashes their high beams, they are not asking you to hit the brakes, they are asking that you move over, please oblige.

Love, Jon

Family Photos

My aunt just sent a few photos my way from my mom's trip up north. Here are some pics of Aunts and Uncles, one with cousins. The occasion was for my Uncle John's induction into his High School Hall of Fame.

New NFL Logos

Ripped this from ESPN... it is a commentary about the first few weeks of the NFL season. I love the Vikings and Panther ones.
