We will never forget.

Although today is the eight anniversary of the terrorist attacks, today is the first day that it's being observed as a national day of service.

Well, since everyone else is doing it (Jess, Tina, Darlene, etc), I guess I should get in on the action. Besides the fact that I should really update my blog!


















Am I going to buy The Bealtes Rock Band? No. I'll play my favorite Beatles songs on a real guitar. Am I going to buy The Beatles Remastered Studio Recordings? Most definitely! ($210.39 @ Borders. Anyone know where I can buy it cheaper?)

And I am not one to be jumping on the bandwagon (pun intended) when something new hits the markets. I've been listening to the Beatles everyday for over thirty years. Just ask my mom. She just loved it when I blasted 'Helter Skelter' all through the house, lol.

Fleeing woman captured while trying to light crack pipe

Arrest follows Sandy Springs car chase

By MIKE MORRIS

An Alpharetta woman who led Sandy Springs police on a high-speed chase Wednesday night was allegedly trying to light a crack pipe even as officers broke out a window of the vehicle to arrest her.

The chase began in the 7800 block of Roswell Road after a tag check on a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe revealed that the registered driver’s license had been suspended for driving under the influence, Sandy Springs police Lt. Steve Rose said.

When the officer attempted to stop the Santa Fe, Lisa Beth Solanik, 43, made a U-turn and sped northbound on Roswell Road.

Rose said officers deployed “stop sticks” at Dunwoody Place and Roswell Road, deflating two of the suspect’s tires.

“The car then drove onto Verdun Drive off Roberts Drive, where it struck one of the police vehicles,” Rose said. “The suspect’s car was then cornered and pinned to a stop by two Sandy Springs police vehicles.”

Rose said that as officers were breaking the side window of the Santa Fe to take Solanik into custody, she was “in the process of trying to light what appeared to be a crack pipe.”

Solanik was charged with obstruction of a police officer, fleeing and/or attempting to elude a police officer, disorderly conduct, driving under the influence of drugs and eight traffic charges. She is in the Fulton County Jail, awaiting an initial court appearance on Friday.

Rose said one Sandy Springs police officer was treated and released for a minor injury sustained during the chase.

My choice was Chase Utley, but Shane Victorino is an awesome player too.

The king of Hawaiian cool had plenty of reason to smile after being named to his first All-Star team.

Crash Into Me | NBC Philadelphia



Considering I handle one to two auto accidents a tour, this report doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is that we're not the worst. I've just about heard every excuse under the sun as to why the accident occurred:

• talking on the cell phone (the law hasn't passed in Philly yet, although it won't make much a difference)
• eating and dropped food on their lap
• yelling at the kids
• looking at a hot chick
• reading a newspaper
• texting
• hollering, waving at friends and forgot to have at least one hand on the steering wheel
  
• changing cds, and my all time favorite-
• purposely ramming the car in front of them because they were pissed off at the driver

And people wonder why I dislike Philly so much. Well, this is one of the reasons. Shitty drivers cause shitty accidents.

So, if you don't get robbed, shot or raped while visiting the "city of brotherly love", you'll probably get into a auto accident.



Philadelphia was again ranked in a not-so-flattering Top 10 list.

Not only were we ranked one of the worst cities, we’re also ugly, fat and apparently now we can’t drive.

Philly drivers ranked sixth worst in a poll of 193 cities, according to Allstate’s fifth annual “America’s Best Drivers Report.”

Philadelphians were about 57 percent more likely to get into an auto collision than the national average. We also average around 6.5 years between each crash.

The best major city (population 1,000,000-plus) to drive in was Phoenix, Ariz., while the nation’s worst drivers came from D.C. with more than a 95-percent collision likelihood compared to the national average.

Thank god we're in good hands with Allstate.
