Hurricane Dolly is about to come on shore in south Texas, the reports I am hearing say the biggest threat is not from the wind but from the rain. They have been saying that if they get the amount of rain they are expecting in south Texas the levies that protect them from the Rio Grande river will not hold and there will be major flooding. The levee systems we have in place here in America are old and do not work. It seems like the government needs to get another system in place to protect us from flooding rivers.

Everything in life boils down to the simple things, I think most of us are very happy with simple things. The simple things that life offers to us free are sometimes the very best. A great sunrise, a cloudy day, a full moon on a clear night. The very best thing I can think of it to have great dogs and a woman who loves you, I have these and they make me very happy. Money and fame would be nice but I will take my simple life and just be happy, poor but happy.

I have needed new glasses for a while now and the time and the cost have stopped me from getting them up until now. I have found a great site that lets you order your glasses online. ZenniOptical.com has the very best prices I have seen for top quality glasses. They only sell the glasses they make with no middle man to save you money and their glass start at $8.00 a pair, what a deal. I saw the Zenni on Fox news and checked it right out.

Today Alexander Radulov signed to play in his home land of Russia even though he is signed for 1 more year with the Nashville Predators. I am not sure how they will get around that signed contract or if the Predators will push the issue. The new Russian League has agreed not to steal NHL players but this is a sure stealing of a player to me. The next few days will tell how this agreement between the Russian League and the NHL will turn out, I think it is going to get interesting before it is over.
