From Autos to NASCAR to Dying Soaps

It's Friday afternoon, and all is almost well. Don't you hate tooth problems? Well, I've got something going on, but I'm not sure what. It'll be a trip to the dentist next week for sure. Ugh. I just want to survive the weekend.

So, in between writing reviews and watching NASCAR on television, I've been surfing the web again, looking to see what's new and exciting out there. You just never know what you might find.

I was intrigued by some code readers that I found. It just amazes me how technology can help us to maintain and deal with our vehicle woes. Some of these scanners are pretty sophisticated.

Too bad the scanners can fix my sagging roof. Honestly, when I get in my car, my head touches that material that is sagging everywhere.

Then I was reading about Vanessa Marcil's return to General Hospital, which apparently hasn't helped the ratings at all. I know I didn't tune in. I'm afraid soap operas may truly be dying. I remember a time when I watched several a day and wouldn't miss a minute. I don't watch any these days.

I'm very frustrated by ESPN which has horrible NASCAR coverage. They always have other events that overlap and push it back. That's what is happening now with qualifying. We're watching little league baseball instead. I could scream.

Onward!
