It finally feels like spring

WOW!! What a great week we had for weather. Sun and temperatures in the upper 60's to low 70's in some cases. I hope you a chance to get out and enjoy some of it. With the better means now the road crews and can finally get out and do some work on the roads that were destroyed this winter. There are a number of repaving projects coming up so as a public service just beware and be nice and patient. That's easy for me to say. I am definitely not the king of patience.

Another sign of better weather is the increase in gas prices. A week ago gas was $3.40 a gallon. I gased up the Scion last night and it was $3.57 a gallon for regular. I have yet to hear any of the presidential candiates adress this issue. One candidate says he's all about change, the other says they will bring meaningful change and third candidate just today said if he's president his first line of business will be introduce a half a trillion dollars worth of budget cuts. I can only imagine what they will be. In each case none of the three have addressed the energy issue in this country with any great detail. We are in the middle of an engergy crisis and those who are being hurt the most by this is people like you and me. The little guy who have to work multiple jobs in some cases just to make ends meet.

Has anybody been paying attention to the NHL playoffs. First, I have to say congratulations to Pittsburgh ,the New York Rangers and Colorado for advancing past the first round. Both the Penquins and Rangers made quick work of Ottawa and New Jersey. It took the Av's a little longer to beat Minnesota but they were able to prevail. Now I have to get to the Boston Bruins. I am a quiet Bruins fan and nobody gave them much of a chance against Montreal. Well if you look now they are now tied at three games a piece following a big come from behind win in game six last night. They trailed 3-1 at one point in that game and trailed the series three games to one. The Bruins as an organization are 0-20 when trailing three games to one in a playoff series. Hopefully that will change. Game 7 is tomorrow night in Montreal. Have I got stories about Montreal and my visit there when I was much younger. Unfournately those stories cannot be written here..LOL. LET'S GO BRUINS.

Finally, It was good to have Pope Benedict XVI visit the United States. I was able to catch some of his mass from St. Patricks Cathedral in New York City Saturday and look forward to watching his mass from Yankee Stadium this afternoon (Sunday). I hope he leaves enough blessing at the Baseball Cathredal to help the team out of it's early season woes. I kept saying to myself it was OK they did not give up the kids to trade for Johan Santana. I told myself it will be ok to lose with the kid pitchers this year. Well it's only 19 games into the season and I know there is still a lot of baseball left to play but my patience is beginning to wear a bit thin. I guess I lied to myself. So please Pope Benedict when you bless the crowd at today's mass leave a little blessing for it's baseball tennant.

Ok that's enough Nibbles and Bits for this time. Have a great week. Peace.
