Another Friday, thank goodness...!

Mom's doing fine.. thanks for your kind words and wishes.... *S*

I hope Carrie's feeling a bit better today, she was a bit under the weather yesterday.

Curt mentioned in his comment yesterday, "Dave called my wife yesterday. I just wanted everyone to know...". Damn right I called your wife! She's got a LOT sweeter voice than you, and she's MUCH better looking! *LOL*
(course, I was calling to get Curt's work phone #) You have to understand, Curt's wife is sweeter than honey from the hive, and just as pretty. Curt, looks like an ole coon-dog that's been on one too many hunts... *LOL* Just kidding bud.. you know I love ya!
Hey, he emailed me asking for some "IT" help, and it was a lot easier to talk to him than write it all out... *S* Hope it worked Curt.

Wednesday, my son was working (cashier at huge supermarket), and someone gave him a dime that at first, looked like a canadian one. On closer inspection, he saw it said "United States" on it, so he replaced 2 nickels for it and brought it home.
Turns out, it's an 1875-CC dime, in exceptional condition! THe CC was a mintmark for "Carson City", and after looking it up, is 90% silver from the Comstock Lode! There's some cool stories online about these dimes.
Doing a bit of research, they can sell for from $25, to well over $25,000 depending on condition as no mint sets were ever produced of them.

And now, on to the news:

Bush vows to cut Middle East oil imports by 75 percent in his SOTU address. His energy secretary says he "didn't meant it literally" and it "was purely an example"

Power goes out at a brewpub, a public cry goes out to save/drink the beer, Dave is on his way to the airport! *LOL*
