Lions lose season opener

The result was a 34-21 victory over the Lions, who bickered among themselves on the sideline and showed again that a perfect record in the preseason is downright meaningless when the games actually count.

Yesterday we had a good trip to visit Syndie’s parents. Syndie’s Dad is doing real well. He is making good progress with his recovery.

The kids had fun playing with their cousin Erica. They swam in Gram and Papa’s pool and also put on a play inspired by Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

No problems crossing the boarder, so it was a great day!

Auto industry helps drive jobless rate to 5-year high of 6.1%
WASHINGTON – Automakers and parts suppliers shed 38,000 jobs in the past 30 days, and the industry has lost 127,800 jobs over the past year, losses that powered the national unemployment rate higher according to federal data released today.
The job cuts in auto manufacturing, combined with 14,000 jobs cut from car dealers and auto parts vendors, were the largest contributors to the 6.1% unemployment rate for August, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. That rate is the highest since September 2003.
Michigan’s unemployment rate stood at 8.5% for July, the highest in the nation, and today’s report suggests it will go even higher in August.

I have been playing around with some new content posting features for this site that will work well for me from both home and work. In and amongst this we have been having issues with the internet and network at work. So I apologize in in advance if you read my blog via RSS. There will be some weird and random test posts. I have settled on two Firefox extensions. The first is Clipmarks, and the second is Scribefire.

I had a doctor appointment today to have my doctor look at my shoulder. I injured it  about a month and a half a go while swimming. My doctor said that I damaged my rota tor cuff. I have to ice, massage, and take anti-inflammatories for a month. If it does not get better she wants me to see an orthopedic doctor.
