THIS YEAR'S BET

Only 45 minutes to gametime...as most of you know, Will and I have a bet every year for the Carolina /Clemson game. This year's bet...Bailey will wear the jersey of the winning team when he is cold, which is every day. Will picked the bet this year. I wanted to do something a little riskier such as the spare tire cover or even a revision of last year's bet to have the patio flag changed to this year's winning team. But, he didn't want to do that. If you ask me, I think he's scared. :-) Go Gamecocks!

TIME SURE DOES FLY!

I'm not sure if y'all will be able to recognize these two skinny people who look like little kids getting married, but as of Thursday (11/27) they will have been married for FIFTEEN years!

BAILEY'S BROTHER

We purchased Bailey a couple of years ago. Shortly after we brought him home, we were shopping in PetSmart when we passed a lady who was carrying a small dog that looked just like Bailey. I went up to her and told her that I had a clone of her dog at home. After asking each other a few questions, we quickly realized that the dogs had been purchased from the same litter!

We bought Bailey at an art fair (strange place to buy a dog, I know). She happened to be at that same art fair where she bought Bailey's brother whose name is Trevor. Believe it or not, Trevor was actually the name we almost chose for Bailey!

I just find it so amazing that we do not live close to each other, bought dogs from the same litter, and then ran into each other in another town and determined that they were brothers!

We have exchanged pictures of the dogs every few months since our chance meeting. Their similarities are so unreal. In the pictures above, Trevor is in the top picture and Bailey is in the bottom one. I think Trevor's owner, Amy, would agree with me on this---not only do they look just alike, they are also both very spoiled!

VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

Please go make an informed vote tomorrow…no excuses! I think every American knows how important this election is. And, I think we all know that we owe it to those who died for our freedom and right to vote.

I hope that people who are basing their decision on some celebrity who abused their influence on television will just stay home. But, I hope that those of us who have done our research will show up in record numbers.

It is my hope that people will look beyond the empty speeches that were nothing more than motivational rallies to get crowds pumped up and focus on the speeches that contained specifics regarding a plan for our country.

Bottom line--please make an informed VOTE tomorrow!
