It was not that long ago when the big question for female sports
reporters was would or should they go into the men’s locker
room to get the story after the game. After a while most male
professional athletes did not mind or notice lady reporters, and
most if not all lady reporters knew the environment that they
were getting them selves into.
But in today’s modern society political correctness has
turned every thing upside down. Even in the sanctuary of the locker
room athletes are expected to behave as though they are in public.
And it is expected that women have full access to the locker room
just as men reporters do.
This is all fine but the men who play professional football are
not known for their intellect, or their grace and manners. They
are being paid millions of dollars for their ability to play the
hard-hitting game of football in the NFL. It is expected and demanded
of them to be polite and courteous in public or at press conferences.
Furthermore women who use their looks and sexuality to advance
their carrier must expect an odd moment every once in awhile.
Granted it is not to be expected that people who use their vanity
must endure catcalls or unwelcome comments about their glamour’s
appearance. But when you take into the men’s locker room
in the NFL it could not have come as a shock to her.

Video: Propane Tank Explosion
Message in a bottle
Evidently it is a lot harder to blow up a propane tank
than you might think. After last weeks propane explosion here
in Jerseyville it has become the talk of the town. We all know
how big the explosion was and that the accident injured 2 people.
But many of us were wondering what might the explosion look like.
So after watching several videos on u tube I found one with the
myth busters who make several attempts to blow up a propane tank.
Watch and see.
CASTINE, Maine –
Three Maine students who launched a message in a bottle in 2008
hoped it would make it all the way to Europe. It didn't make it
to the mainland, but it made it as far as the Azores, a Portuguese
archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Bangor Daily News reported seventh-grader
Dustin Colson and sixth-graders Liam Griffith and Hannah Flood
had all but forgotten about the bottle until it was discovered
this summer. Flood's dad and her uncle agreed to drop bottles
into the water off the Bahamas in March 2008 while setting weather
buoys.
Cheryl McFadden at the Adams School
in Castine said the idea was to see if the Gulf Stream would take
the bottles to Europe. The bottle traveled about 3,000 miles.
