- I’ve had three minor accomplishments this week:
- First, I found that annoying rattle in my car.
- Second, I was able to get my energy efficient bulps to work in my garage door opener. How?  After a quick search on the Google I found all you need to do is unplug the thing and get some needle nose pliars to pull the metal thingy out a bit to make better contact. The energy efficient bulps are a little bit shorter than regular bulbs.
- Thrid . . . after two years, I finally was able to get my permalinks to display correctly. In other words, the the web address of an individual post usually displayed something like this, “www.bagofnothing.com/?p=123.” Now an individual post will have the month, day, year, and the actual title in the post which makes BON easier to be picked up by search engines. Why did it take two years? Because I didn’t want to ask for help and wanted to accomplish this on my own.
- For the last two nights Lester Holt has been in my dreams, and I don’t even watch the Today Show.
- Lots of rain in DFW lately, that just doesn’t happen in August.
- Glad I didn’t go to that Cowboys open practice with all that rain.
- Funny they would plan that open practice from 7-9 when Hard Knocks starts right at nine.
- I haven’t really been all that impressed with Hard Knocks.
- I think we are thin at receiver and I don’t like our new tight end. I say trade him for a receiver and take our chances at TE with Witten and Tony Curtis.
- I got a bit emotional when Misty May-Treanor spread her mother’s ashes. I remember doing the same, just not at a beach volleyball court.
- I’m working on finding some video of something I saw on the Olympics that made me shed a tear. It involved a weightlifter and his late wife.
- With my new job, I just haven’t got into a blogging routine. I’m not blogging at work, I just have a hard time getting into blogging when I get home.
- Speaking of blogging, today is going to be short and sweet. I’ll try to make up for it on Friday, and I’m not sure if there are going to be afternoon posts today.

The weightlifter and his late wife made me tear up too.
1) Bolt’s decisive victory in the 200 meters was high jacked by the disqualification of both the Silver and Bronze medal winners. Oddly, when American sprinter Dix moved up from 5th to a Bronze medal as a result of the two DQs his only comment was, “I still didn’t winâ€. 2) It was really strange seeing the female sprinter from Bahrain participating in the 200 meters weary a very baggy outfit covering her from head to toe. There was nothing aerodynamic about her outfit; it must have been very hot and difficult to run in. Ironically, I watched an Egyptian female sprinter run the night before wearing the same tight, skimpy outfit standard to all the other women sprinters. 3) One of the choices Irving is considering for Cowboy stadium is to blow part of it up for a movie.
