Unless something comes up (which it often does), I hope to publish my latest article tomorrow. I finished it tonight, but my editor (Renee) has to give it a thorough once-over. So, stay tuned.

Hey, how 'bout them Rangers? The took the first two of the series against the A's and are just 3 games back now. I still don't think they will win their division, but this team has shown a lot of heart and strength. They are also adept at chair throwing, but they're paying the price for that one.

I heard about the Italian woman who was killed by a falling 7ft. Tall crucifix. Think there was a "message" involved there?

So, Yusuf Islam, aka Cat Stevens, was denied entry into the US. Customs officials said that he was a security risk, but wouldn't elaborate. I think the security detail at the airport just didn't want to expose the country to another version of "Moonshadow".

Jimmy Swaggart said that he would kill any man who looked at him in a sexual manner. Earth to Jimmy - I can't imagine any man finding him even remotely appealing. Nor any woman, for that matter.

I see that remnants of Hurricane Ivan have come back around and are now threatening the western Gulf coast as Tropical Storm Ivan. To be honest, I don't ever recall a hurricane striking the same area twice. I know that there have been storms that have hit one place, strengthened and moved back in to another location (Hurricane Andrew comes to mind), but to move through the country, break apart, reform and strike basically the same area again? Unbelievable.

One last thing...I saw that in Berlin, a German telecommunications company is developing a cell phone that warns the user if they have bad breath or just stink (true story!).

I would make a French joke, but I have a friend who lives there so I won't.

The company wants to distribute it in the U.S., but had to cancel their plans when it was learned the American distributer was based in Newark. Apparently, they couldn't get the phones to stop beeping.

Baddump-bum.
