The Redneck Gourmet, one of my favorite eating establishments where I live in Newnan, made the front page of CNN.com in a story about small businesses and the current economy. You can read about it here. If you get a chance, stop by and grab a burger or the chicken strips. |

Keep my family and friends in Texas in your prayers. Hurricane Ike started drifting north and is on track to hit the Houston area early Saturday morning. My sister and her family, along with many others in the Houston area, are under mandatory evacuation orders. They are now at my parent's place in east Texas, but the weather could still be rough there. The current path has the eye of the storm passing 50 or so miles west of my parents, and it's still predicted to be a category 1 hurricane then.

Various news outlest are reporting that the discovery of remains of "Bigfoot" by a couple of Georgia residents is a hoax. Here a couple of lines from National Geographic's posting:
*Only days after Georgia residents Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer told reporters at a press conference on Friday that they had a dead Bigfoot body, their evidence has been exposed as a rubber ape costume. The deception was made public by the very company Whitton and Dyer teamed up with to announce their supposed find. In a statement posted on the Web site of Searching for Bigfoot Inc., "Sasquatch Detective" Steve Kulls said he realized the Bigfoot "corpse" was a fake when the frozen body began to thaw—after the press conference had already taken place.
*Kulls wrote that he immediately informed Searching for Bigfoot CEO Tom Biscardi about the discovery. Upon confrontation, Whitton and Dyer reportedly admitted to the hoax.
A quick search on Google News turned up 786 articles for "Bigfoot hoax". Really? Is this story that newsworthy? I would ask a silly question like, "Are there that many people out there who believe that Bigfoot actually exists?", but I think I already have the answer to that question if groups like "Searching for Bigfoot" actually have members and if there is actually as person who labels himself as the "Sasquatch Detective".

I read a blurb today talking about a change in Coca-Cola's image overseas. Here's what it said:
Diet Coke, or as they say in Italy, Coca Light, is getting a makeover just in time for women’s fashion week in Milan at the end of September.
Roberto Cavalli was picked to rev things up and the designer decked out the tiny glass bottles in three motifs featuring his staple animal spots and stripes.
The limited edition bottles will be available in Italy from September through December. Cavalli compared creating looks for the 300,000 curvy containers to designing dresses for his customers, making them, "seductive and feminine, in typical Cavalli style."
Here's what the bottles will look like. How do you say, "Can I have one of those ugly bottles of Coca-Cola Light" in Italian?
