  1. My home team is doing great this year and now has home field advantage for all playoff games. With a record of 13-2 and them finally learning to play like a team I see them getting very close to the Super Bowl. This would be a first time in the Super Bowl for the Hawks and would mean a great deal to the people of Seattle and all Western Washington. Seattle fans have been in bad shape after the loss our baseball team had in the end of the playoffs ending a great year with 116 games won in the season.

     

    Go Hawks, Go!

    WASHINGTON, D.C. - 2006 has been postponed. But not for long. A leap second will be inserted in the world's clocks just before midnight - Greenwich mean time - on New Year's Eve, the U.S. Naval Observatory reported Friday. That means Jan. 1, 2006 will occur one second later than it would have otherwise. Leap seconds are needed occasionally because modern atomic clocks measure time with great accuracy, while the rotation of the Earth can be inconsistent. The rotation of the Earth is and has been continuing to slow down ever so slightly, so leap seconds keep the clocks and the Earth from getting out of synch with one another. This will be the 23rd leap second that has been inserted since 1972 when an international timekeeping agreement was signed, according to the Observatory. The last one was inserted seven years ago.

    Wow... new to me!


  3. Some you left out...

    1. Never say your low on gas when a 3 year old boy is near or your gas tank of your car will be filled with water.

     

    2. Getting water out of a gas tank takes a lot of money.

     

    3. When playing pool with you navy friend make sure the beer is in sight and away from your 5-year-old girl.

     

    4. A 3-year-old boy can find many ways to get ice cream early in the day.

     

    5. Never leave the spare car door opener near the ice cream.

     

    6. 2 year olds don't like wearing shoes and never look where they step.

     

    7. When having a BBQ look to number 6.

     

    8. 4 year olds think that anything put into a coffee pot, like cough syrup or chickaree, will make coffee.

     

    9. Nail polish hardener should never be in reach of a 3 year old that looks at everything very closely.

     

    10. Out of 3 boys and 2 girls after watching a WWF pay-per-view event the youngest boy will be thrown out a window by the oldest boy, then beaten up by the 2 girls for try to stop them from changing the channel, and finally has 'The People’s Elbow' and 'Stone Clod Stunner' performed on him by the two older boys.
