Feeling Mellow

Just Another Weekend

Well, another weekend is here again.  Two days off and lots of racing to watch today and tomorrow.  There's Nascar, Drag racing, IRL and of course the third leg of Horse racing's triple crown.  Will Big Brown become the first triple crown winner in 30 years?  We will find out today.  Then there is game two of the NBA finals tomorrow night.  I'm crossing my fingers the Lakers bounce back and split the two games in Boston before coming home.
 
We went to see the new Indiana Jones movie yesterday.  I worked a half day so we went and saw it.  Let me tell you, I was disappointed in the very weak story line.  To me, this is by far the worst movie out of the four.  It's one of those movies you have to see if you like Indy but it isn't one that you will want to see again or even buy it when it comes out on dvd.  We should have gone and seen Sex in the City instead . . . maybe could have gotten a thrill or two there.  LOL
 
Spring is almost over.  Two weeks from now Summer will officially be here but by the looks of things many of you back East have Summer at your doorsteps right now.
 
I think the summer driving season is going to take a hit as well as the flying anywhere for vacation industry will too with these high gas prices that are seemingly going up without an end in sight.  And still our government can care less about the economy.  Yep, they are predicting $150 a barrel oil prices by July 4th.  Can you say $5 a gallon at the pump . . . I knew you could.
 
Looks like Hillary will be officially endorsing Barrack Obama today as she is dropping out of the race for President officially.  I saw a rumor on the internet yesterday that Barrack's wife was once with Louis Farrakan and she was using racial slurs aimed at Caucasians.  The term "whitey" was used.  Not sure if it is true because no tape exists.  Could just be a smear campaign but who knows, without proof it is just rhetoric.
 
Well, that is about all for this Saturday.  Hope Y'all have a fantastic weekend and be sure not to do anything I wouldn't do.

    Hey my THRILLFUL OWNER!  I had been planning a trip to MASS. but decided to not go recently due to gas prices.  I thought I would never be one to sucumb to gas prices like that but alas, even I am throwing the towel in to a vacation. <sigh>  I don't get into politics but let's just say I'm with you and leave it at that.

    I am hoping Big Brown wins as well....Tried to watch the end of the truck race last night, but fell asleep instead.

    Yep, gas prices now are ridiculus...that and groceries. geez. Stimulus checks to improve the ecomony....thank you for the money but it paid bills, not things.

    Love to you on this weekend my owner.

    Go Big Brown !
    I am upset about Hillary. Ugh. This whole campaign has been a mess.
    I took some pictures of our gas prices, so we'll see how it compares to you.
    Have a great day Mr. Thrill.
