Congratulations to the justice

The senate has confirmed Judge Sonia Sotomayor's Supreme Court nomination, 68-31, making her the first Hispanic on the high court; congratulations to her and her family.

Also to be approved, more than likely, is that additional 2B for the cash for clunkers objective that will allow you to trade your oldie in for a newbie until Labor Day.

Here everyone has been getting rained on, but us!

El NiƱo has been largely involved in scaling down their predictions for our 2009 Hurricane Season to just 3-6 named ones with only one to two severe.
Wow, I sure feel safer…not!
Hurricane Andrew arrived on August 17.1992, just one, the first of the hurricane season and a CAT5 the highest on the scale.
Hurricane Charley came on August 13.2004 just one, but the third named storm and a CAT4, still questionable some say a 5, but it took years for them to declare Andrew a 5 possible 6,which is still unheard of really! Both hurricanes in case you all have forgotten created an enormous amount of devastation!

Lest I remind the people who now might fall into complacency …it only takes one. I am not trying to scare us Gulf Coasters but I would suggest keeping up with the weather and when we have a nasty system in our hemisphere to pay attention!

The news just had a nifty roofing idea that makes our southern roofs white with a roll on material to give you a forty per cent savings on cooling…sounds too good to be true but Florida Power and Light (our own personal power company) is giving out 50 to 60 cents on the dollar rebate up to 15K if you install the system! Guess it is for real!

Today, I got a few more laundry loads done, and did a bit of this and that, and then watched my usual fair of TV programming.

Sherry, on the View was on a diet and exercise program for quite some time, to fit into a bathing suit by today, and she did come out in one at the end of the show. She did look good, but admitted she had not lost any weight only reconfigured what was there, but did get off her diabetes medication which is huge by any health standards; good for you lady! And she also had to admit that she did learn quite a few life changing foods and habits. The only thing is that she had like five pros helping her, and they did not go into exactly what was going on during this process in detail; perhaps I missed it or maybe we will be told all at a later date? Ideas for healthy living should be spread around not kept secret!

Visitors to our state may take a double take on our highway I75, we have doubled exit signs being installed until next April when the IROC road project should be completed the new signs are more reflective, but will be staying until all is done. And they are at no additional charge to the state or us taxpayers it is all in the initial cost of the project!

You heard it here first, the updates…on…TOBI NEWS!

Good night to all, be safe, and count those blessings and I will too!

Which way will the war go?
