The United States and company contemplating their choices.. The actions against the United States could take against Soviet Union Russia is tough.. It doesn't want to damage the relationship for good but notices a little tinge of Soviet style acts on the country's part. Gee wizz, G-8..
What are you going to do?

Meanwhile, Senator Joe Biden is off to Georgia to see how lucky he can be.. Vice presidential rumors are swirling.

NO BULL: RED BULL WARNING

A study of 30 college students aged between 20 and 24-years-old found that drinking just one 250ml sugar-free can of the caffeinated energy drink increased the risk of blood clots!

MORE

According to Australian researchers: By drinking one can, the college participants had shown a 'cardiovascular profile similar to that of someone with heart disease'..

The American media has largely ignored the study.. the British media has gone hard on it, putting it on front pages and high on websites..

The INDEPENDENT, the TELEGRAPH, REUTERS.. But not much elsewhere.

I had Red Bull last night, but it didn't make my hyper. However, after reading up on the Australian study, I'll have two aspirins before work today.. just in case.

The Sunday Morning Sidewalk


The Sunday morning feeling coming down again. Summer is almost over. Yes, already. School beginning soon for people--some who haven't gold to school in years, namely me. But I'm not nervous, it's making me feel young again.. I have to do school shopping. I am 27.. but doing school shopping. Life changes, but stays the same..
But what never changes is that feeling you get in your gut on a Sunday morning.. All the world's weight coming down .. on you.


Michael Phelps did it. He got eight gold medals at the Olympics.. He made some great history, and made America proud.
He eats, sleeps, and swims. In a way we all have something in common.. eat.. sleep .. work. The biggest difference is his endurance level is high and we don't get gold medals for work.
