UPDATE (7/17/08): With even more rain it's gotten even worse - a mosquito boom, it's being called.
The itch is worse than the bite! I'm talking mosquitoes, and if you're like me, you're a smorgasbord for the blood-sucking insects. The Midwest is now overrun with them because of the flooding, and for us, the rainy season brings them on. The first step is to eliminate their breeding sites. The second step is to gather an army of lizard warriors and unleash them!

4th of July Free for All
How well do you know your history? How much do you really know about this Country? You can take a quiz just for fun and find out if your noggin needs some honin'.
Some 4th of July recipes!
Enjoy your holiday weekend and make plans to join me, Kimba, Monday morning - I'll be filling in for the vacationing Susan Wise.
Wimbledon Finals
This 4th of July weekend also brings The Championships at Wimbledon; the finals will air Saturday and Sunday. So while we celebrate our independence from Great Britain this weekend, we can watch some tennis being played there and shout out, " You ain't the boss of me!"

Pre-paid gas cards
UPDATE (7/17/08): MyGallons.com will give refunds to nearly 6,000 customers, and current customers will be offered a free year's membership.
UPDATE: The Better Business Bureau has given MyGallons an 'F' rating. As of this update (July 9, 2008), MyGallons was planning to meet with the BBB for a reevaluation.
A Miami-based company called MyGallons is offering you an opportunity not unlike the USPS does with their Forever Stamp. Pre-buy gasoline at the current price and fill up later without paying the higher prices. The company has no limit on redeeming the gas; so say you buy now at $4.07 and a year later gas is $7.20 (don't laugh, while it is exaggerated, it's not that farfetched), you save $3.13 a gallon! There is an annual fee for the service and about 95% of gas stations around the country participate.
