Gold Sweet Gold......

for Nebraska's own Curt Tomasevicz. How much fun it was to watch Shelby Nebraska Native and Nebraskan win the Gold in the Four man bobsled at the 2010 Winter Olympics. It was definately one of my favorite Olympic moments of all time. What an honor for Curt. An former Shelby Huskie, a former Nebraska Husker Football player, now an Olympic Champion and hero!!

Updated my Scrapbooking site.....

For those of you that follow my scrapbooking site, I am happy to announce that I posted my four layouts for this month! Last month I did so good scrappin but this month, has flown by and I have been so busy. I did manage to get my monthly assignments done at Gotta Pixel and those are there for you to enjoy at: GONE SCRAP CRAZY

I am not too thrilled to be leaving to go to Omaha to the 2010 Boat and Travel show. I am vowing to make the best of it. The good news is I get to ride with my friend Julie so that helps ease some of my pain. At least we can chat about girly things....like cooking and NASCAR :) hehehehehe......so here's to three days in Omaha again, again at the Qwest center. What is up with me and that place. I just as well plan on going there next weekend too :) I guess I am not so much bothered by having to go to the show or Omaha for that matter but it is leaving Cheerio that I don't much care for. McCook pretty much takes care of herself, but I know Cheerio misses us. We have our own little routine and it really messes him up. BUT I know he is in good hands with John and Cindy. I was messin around with my camera and playing with Cherrio before I left so I took some photos.......

Controversial remarks spark Las Vegas Motor Speedway invite to President Obama

By SceneDaily.com Staff

Wednesday, February 03, 2010

Las Vegas Motor Speedway is inviting President Barack Obama to give the command to start the engines for the Shelby American NASCAR Sprint Cup race Feb. 28.

The invitation is in response to Obama comments during a speech Tuesday to high school students: “You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college. You prioritize. You make tough choices.”

The comments have caused a furor in the city.

“It’s a shame that the president doesn’t realize the impact of tourism on the Las Vegas economy,” LVMS President Chris Powell said. “Telling people not to visit Las Vegas is the same as telling them not to buy vegetables would be to a farmer in the Midwest – or telling them not to buy cars would be to an autoworker in Detroit.

“On the last weekend of this month, NASCAR Weekend at the speedway will bring in more than $150 million to the local economy. It will generate 3,000 jobs at the speedway alone. Hotels in town have reduced room rates. We’ve reduced ticket prices. And the races themselves will be a showcase of American know-how and ingenuity”

LVMS is a track operated by Speedway Motorsports Inc., whose chairman Bruton Smith has been critical of Obama policies.

Smith was asked last March if he would invite to Obama to a race.

“What? I’m sorry I misunderstood the question,” Smith quipped before saying, “We have a lot of people on the list and I really don’t know whether he’s on the list or not.”

I am not sure how President Obama telling students to save their money so they can go to college instead of blowing money in Vegas is controversial. I agree 100%!!!! There are people each day who blow their money on gambling and do they really win big....NO! Seriously, the only people making money in Vegas are the Casino and Hotel owners.......I was considering attending the Las Vegas race now......not so much. Think I'll continue to spend my money in Kansas at the Kansas Speedway and maybe drop some in Alabama or Tennessee but it sure isn't going to be Vegas........
