Got a quick snap of the camera the other day of this truck driver looking guy with slicked back greasy hair and a mini-mullet!

First Time!
A few weeks back I took my first deep sea fishing trip. Went about 35 miles off the coast of St. Augusting on the Endless Summer II. Out at 6:00 am and back by 5:00 pm. Lots of fun, sun and best of all, I didn't get seasick! Fishes caught included Amber Jack, Mangrove Snapper and
some Beesline Jack!

10 In a Row
The Pittsburgh Pirates have now lost 10 games in a row and have an overall record of 23-42=.354% Why do the Pirates SUCK so bad? What is it now? 17 straight losing seasons, about to be 18? That is unacceptable and a total embarassment to the city of Pittsburgh! It is totally ridiculous that the Mangement of this organization is still in place and allowed to operate.

U.S DEBT TO RISE TO $19.6 TRILLION BY 2015
WASHINGTON
Tue Jun 8, 2010 6:19pm EDT
June 8 (Reuters) - The U.S. debt will top $13.6 trillion this year and climb to an estimated $19.6 trillion by 2015, according to a Treasury Department report to Congress.
The report that was sent to lawmakers Friday night with no fanfare said the ratio of debt to the gross domestic product would rise to 102 percent by 2015 from 93 percent this year.
"The president's economic experts say a 1 percent increase in GDP can create almost 1 million jobs, and that 1 percent is what experts think we are losing because of the debt's massive drag on our economy," said Republican Representative Dave Camp, who publicized the report.
He was referring to recent testimony by University of Maryland Professor Carmen Reinhart to the bipartisan fiscal commission, which was created by President Barack Obama to recommend ways to reduce the deficit, which said debt topping 90 percent of GDP could slow economic growth.
The U.S. debt has grown rapidly with the economic downturn and government spending for the Wall Street bailout, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the economic stimulus. The rising debt is contributing to voter unrest ahead of the November congressional elections in which Republicans hope to regain control of Congress.
The total U.S. debt includes obligations to the Social Security retirement program and other government trust funds. The amount of debt held by investors, which include China and other countries as well as individuals and pension funds, will rise to an estimated $9.1 trillion this year from $7.5 trillion last year.
By 2015 the net public debt will rise to an estimated $14 trillion, with a ratio to GDP of 73 percent, the Treasury report said. (Reporting by Donna Smith; Editing by Kenneth Barry)

Boo-Hoo Perfect Game
Since I follow the Pirates and they stink, I really don't pay attention to Major League Baseball anymore. I didn't hear about the Phillies Pitcher having a Perfect Game last Friday (I think) until a few days later. I guess someone else had one earlier in May as well? Also, I didn't hear about the latest near-perfect game until last night. Anyway, I have only see 1 replay of and I think the guy was safe. Yes the ball was in his mit and foot on the base before the runner, but he also was clasping his glove and the ball was moving. He raises his hand and glove and then has the ball in control. IMO, he didn't have full possession of the ball, it was still bobbling. I don't even know if that counts anymore, because I am only thinking NFL where the reciever must have possession of the ball (and it not be moving in their hands). I kinda forget the rules of baseball. 17 straight years of losing Pirates baseball will do that to you! Anyway, all this crap about replay and the Comissioner giving the guy a perfect game is stupid. Mistakes are made. It is human nature. To go back a day or two later and change the outcome makes no sense to me. You lost the perfect game. Get over it!
