Icy nite in SC?

I saw something really cool yesterday morning, at least to me. I had logged onto the USA Today weather site and saw a US Precip. map and most of the east US was covered by this huge cloud mass. I noticed that the very tip of Western TN was clear, and since that is where we live, I went out into my front yard, looked East and saw the tailing edge of that huge front moving Eastward! The sky above us was perfectly clear and sunny, but that huge dark mass moving to the East apparently had some really bad precip. Ice in GA, SC, NC and surely farther North East. I hope our home in Columbia weathered the storm OK, although it doesn't matter to us here if the electric went off there or not. If it did, my next bill should be less there right?

Got to mention one of the most idiotic things I have heard a grown man in a position of authority say in a while (excluding GWBush). Donovan McNabb is a very successful 'black' quarterback in the NFL and has been for a few years now. He has dealt with the press and the T. Owens disaster with poise and class and never got involved in the word games that the media likes to perpetuate. He has played hurt during many games and has given fans of the Eagles lots to cheer about. Well, the head of the Philadelphia chapter of the NAACP wrote an article that bashed McNabb and accused him of being a sellout to his race. Want to know the basis for this attack on McNabb? Apparently, Donovan has decided to quit scrambling and running so much during games and has tried to become a more traditional drop back passing QB! NAACP guy says that McNabb is disrespecting his race and trying to "act white" by not using his talents as a running QB, ala M. Vick! Donovan responded by saying that if a white guy had wrote this, he would feel that it was a racist comment, but since someone of his own race did, he then took it as an attack on him as a man. My thing is that it is so stupid of anyone to criticize a professional QB for running and scrambling less, white or black. As a QB playing hurt much of the time, McNabb is smart not to want to increase his chances of more injury by running. How often as Vick been hurt and on the sidelines? NFL teams pay millions of dollars for players called RUNNING BACKS! A QB is much more valuable to a team as a play caller, leader and passer and if he is too banged up to play, then he is useless. If the folks of this wonderful nation of ours could just stop looking at fellow citizens as either white or black or other and stop using tired stereotypes and generalities, we might just be able to bring the US back to world prominence again, once we get that ignoramus GW out of office! Oh yeah GW, you keep saying we are going to remain in Iraq until we have achieved victory, but I have never heard you say what a US victory there means! When will be know we have won? And what the hell are we trying to win? Get our troops home, stop spending billions of taxpayer dollars for a war only you really wanted to begin with and lets start rebuilding and protecting the USA!

Oh, yeah, may get around to Nevis: The arrival this afternoon.

Good Day!
