Michael Phelps won a gold medal in his first event of the 2008 Olympics.  He has 7 more events scheduled and he and his team are the favorites in each.  Amazing how good he is.  I weed eated the yard this morning and raked up some grass clippings from what I had leftover from yesterday.  I didn’t get to cut the rest because we went to my wife’s company picnic this afternoon.  Hopefully tomorrow, the grass will dry out and I’ll be able to finish cutting what’s left and finish up the weed eating.  I have a bunch of weed maintenance to do in a few spots that have been overtaken by grass this summer.  I don’t know how that stuff spreads in places you don’t want it but never grows in the places you would like it.  The Cardinals pounded the Cubs today which was great.  I love it when the Cubs get beat and I don’t care who does it.  But when it’s the Cardinals doing it, it sure is special.
