It’s hot, and millions of our brethren are vacating.
Alas, here are some points of interest for those who remain cubicle-bound (and travelers with wireless).
-- Go home, make a cake, and celebrate the 50 years of instant mobility afforded to this great nation by the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.
-- Is President Bush allowed to issue a ‘kill’ order? Mr. Putin can.
--The Smart car sure looks cute cruising around European streets, but what happens when one collides with an Expedition on one of America’s roadways?
-- First poker. Now, ESPN has deemed dominoes as the newest sport-broadcast sensation. Where’s the love for tetherball?
-- In yet another example of Oprah’s all-encompassing power, the reclusive Harper Lee has been coaxed to write a piece for O Magazine. I guess it’s about time to renew my subscription.
--Those uber-cool individuals who fancy editing and newspaper analysis may find Andy Bechtel’s blog a good read. I do.
Go outside. Have a cookout. Be active. But, if you feel the need to venture to the gym, hold off on that barbecue until afterward. Seriously. Don’t play around with such.
