It doesn’t auger well when your 9 day road trip is delayed by a dead battery.
But we called out the breakdown service and we were soon on our way and straight into a 10 mile tailback.

How ’bout them Vol bloggers?
Excellent new Volunteer football resources online. I’ve begun my Vol blog roll (check the sidebar), which will take you to Rocky Top Talk, Voluminous and some new bloggers, too. And the fantastic new Rocky Top Brigade Vol aggregator.

The Croc hunter is dead. Stung in the chest by a stingray while filming an underwater documentary, Steve Irwin died on the beach leaving behind his American born wife and two children.

“They have one or two barbs in the tails which are not only coated in toxic material but are also like a bayonet, like a bayonet on a rifle.
“If it hits any vital organs it’s as deadly as a bayonet.”
Stingrays, dangerous? D’ya think?
I enjoyed Steve Irwin’s shows, but that dude was craaazy.
