1st Where’s George 2008 Hit!

This bill has travelled 65 Miles in 79 Days, 14 Hrs, 12 Mins at an average of 0.81 Miles per day.
It is now 65 Miles from its starting location.

I entered this bill in Knoxville, TN and it is now Turtletown, TN (37391/Polk).

My Friends of George expires at the end of this month, so I need to renew another month. I did miss having it. It is nice to see the county in the bill report. Now to save up and pay that, but man that comes to $72/year.

Whining does wonders!
I want more hits and I want them now!
I hope 2008 is filled with tons and tons and tons of Where’s George hits!
Wish me luck!
*fingers crossed*

Please, I ask that you do not toss those Gift Cards…

One of my normal contributors, who lives locally to me, has a young daughter who collects those gifts cards.
If you can please help her out with her collection, like you all help me out with my business card collection.

You can view her Web site at: http://www.geocities.com/pdfogel/gift-cards.html.

At the end of 2007, Jolie has 511 of these.

You can also send them to:

Thanks you all for your continued support.

Today, Tennessee took on Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, FL.
Tennessee won this Bowl Game with a score of 21 to 17.
Making Tennessee’s overall season a 10 wins and 4 losses.
It was an early game, starting at 11 a.m.
It seemed that most of the games played this season were early games.

GO VOLS!

I am looking forward to the start of the season toward the end of August.

I also wore my new Vol t-shirt I got for Christmas just for the game.
I had to listen to the game on WIVK 107.7 (Radio)
since it was on ESPN and I don’t have cable.
