Wow - feels like Summer time here. So on the note of our first article about traffic drops you may notice a decline in traffic as we approach Summer (unless you sell pool toys, squirt guns etc.).

Today a public service announcement... I did something really dumb today.

I usually have Oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, or Grits for breakfast. Today it was Grits. I was in a big hurry and not paying attention (2 mistakes). Usually I wait a few after the Grits are done before reaching in... today I didn't. It was hot. I spilled it all over my hands.

Luckily the sink was very close, so I only burnt my pinky (do you know how often you use that little thing... ) Anyway Desitin has helped the pain, now I just feel like a big GOOF :o).. so don't get in too big of a hurry.

Today the NCAA tournament starts so take some time to relax.

Enjoy your day.

A bit of a rant today - yesterday I saw a report on one of the morning news shows about rebates. During the last Christmas holiday season I bought a few products because they had a rebate... I will never / ever do that again. In fact I won't be shopping with one particular outlet at all. They really have you in a pickle if you think about it. Seems like my rebate check for $200 is lost. Like I said though I speak with my wallet.

If you enjoy basketball... this weekend (which started on Thursday) and next week you will be having tons of fun. Last night I watched two overtime games that were going on at the same time. Such is March Madness... so enjoy it while you can!!
