Hey everyone,
I had a good thanksgiving with all the trimmings and so much more. I feel that I maybe gained about 20 pounds from all the turkey, ham, cranberries and of course mashed potatoes and gravy. Anyway, tis the season for yultides and of course more food and good weather. I will also be making changes to my web page plus a new song on my blog for the month of December. Plus more articles and photos to be published in the month to come! 

All the best,
B.K.R.

WELL APPARENTLY YOU CANT NOW THANKS TO A FEW PEOPLE COURTESY OF THE GOLF CHANNEL PROVING A POINT. Okay i have seen some pretty awesome and unusual things happen at one time. But never have I seen someone do something that you think would not be believable actually pull off the impossible. Someone actually sent me a video of golf long drive champion Jamie Sadlowski (Gray Shirt) while he was on the Golf Channel's show Morning Drive. Jamie and the show's host, Gary Williams (Purple shirt), decided to face off on the shows golf simulator to see who could hit the longest drive. Now do remember there is a net that is in front of the screen to keep a golf ball from doing any damage!

Oh My God!!! Did you see that! All it took was one drive by Sadlowski was all it took to put a hole through the simulator and an end to the game. Watch it again just to see how it happened! It is so unreal.

All the Best,
B.K.R.

Okay, apparently now grocery stores are starting a valet service for people. And this isnt just a service in front of the store, this time its in front of the liquor store of all places!!! I mean seriously someone has to park outside the store DIRECTLY in order to go inside and get their beer! You know, next time a northerner or a damn snowbird talk about floridians living the lazy life, maybe they should take a look back and see themselves and their habits. If you can't walk only a few steps to go into a "mini-mart," there is something SERIOUSLY WRONG with you. Get a grip people! They talk about obesity and motivation being a problem in this country, maybe we should look at our elders....or in this case our very old lazy and sometimes stupid elders who feel it takes too much effort to park in a parking space. 

Just as an addition to my blog, I decided to post some photos from Seminole High School's signing day in the Media Center on November 14th. Take a look, more to come. Also, these will not be published in the Seminole Beacon, I already have that photo chosen. You will have to wait to Wednesday to see which photo gets published and what it says about each of them. 

ALL THE BEST,
B.K.R. 

From Left to Right: Catcher/Pitcher Michael Mann (#9), Pitcher/Shortstop Alex McGathey (#3) and Infielder/Outfielder Corey Baptist (#25) sign their letters of intent in the Seminole High School Media Center on Wednesday November 14th at 12:45 pm. 

After the papers were signed, all players placed the hats on their heads showing where their futures would be going next with both their lives, baseball and careers. 

Ever since I was a little kid I have always been interested in movies that made me think about the world around me and furthermore what science and technology could bring us next. One of those movies that I could never stop watching was Back to the Future (and that includes the whole trilogy). Between the story, the characters, the music, it is one of those movies that stays with you forever and you remember almost every scene and line. Recently while searching for cheats for Batman Arkham City and Arkham Asylum, I stumbled across something very interesting. One of the featured videos that was suggested through my searches on Youtube was for a Back to the Future mode that could be played in the one game that some of us spent many summers trying to beat: Grand Theft Auto Vice City. I dont want spoil anything for any of you, but the play mode that is done in the game is amazing especially when you have to do missions in the game with the DeLorean. YES MISSIONS!!! If you are interested in playing, here is the link:http://www.bttfhillvalley.co.uk/forum/index.php?act=pages&page=home


All the Best,
