Beautiful day to be outside.

Flowers just caught my eye.

Gas Prices going up because of Investors

"Storage tankers across the globe may be brimming with oil that no one is buying because of the global economic downturn, but the traditional laws of supply and demand don't always apply to oil prices. Drivers have faced rising prices at the gas pump in recent months, as investors and oil-producing countries hoard supplies in anticipation of a global economic recovery later this year."
Time.com Article
There must be a better way where the population of the US is so subject to the will of these investors. This happened last year when gas prices spiked and will happen again. Have the regulators learned nothing? I know its a free market country but in a time of recession I think the last thing needed is an unnecessary rise in gas prices.

Hike time at the Arboretum.

Russian Victory Day

The day is to commemorate the day the Nazis were defeated. It is a great celebration and I think the Russian people get too little credit for all they did in WWII.

Asheville Tourists Manager

Manager Joe Mikulik. Good guy and I posted the clip in the past showing him going off on the umpires. He gained national attention with that but he is a great guy and I think people can see that in this clip. Credit to the Citizen Times for this interview show.

Tyson!

I am going to see the documentary out about Tyson. In thinking back I wanted to see the first title fight he had.
He destroyed Trevor Berbick and he was a scary man. There are a few other fights I will post as I enjoyed watching them when I was a kid.
