Super Tuesday


We had a record high of 74 today - the previous record was 72. The weather guy said that it would've gone to 80 if the sun had been out more of the day. Definitely not like February. Plus all those tornadoes in AR and near Memphis.

John's followup appointment got pushed back to Wednesday of next week. He's having more discomfort, but overall is still doing well.

Basketball news: UT 104, Florida 82! Women: Rutgers 73, UConn 71 - HOORAY!!! And now our UTC Lady Mocs have the longest winning streak in women's basketball. But the Lady Vols have to play Rutgers next Monday. I would like to think that Bobby Knight is now out of college basketball forever. Personally, I'd like to see him drop off the edge of the world! I couldn't believe it when Texas Tech hired him after he'd been forced to resign from Indiana in disgrace.

Super Tuesday is almost over - we're three hours ahead of California, so votes probably aren't counted there. It looks like Clinton won the Democratic Primary in Tennessee; Obama won in Georgia and Alabama. Huckabee won the Republican primary in Tennessee, with McCain second; Georgia Republicans did the same. We love to read election returns in the paper - to see how different local precincts voted. I'd like to think we might get a break from all the political blathering - at least briefly. It's gonna be a long year.

Today's picture was taken in an industrial area along the River Clyde, in Glasgow, Scotland - just because I like the picture.
