POPSYou Know You’re From Tennessee If… 13. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good pinto-bean weather. 14. A carbonated soft drink isn’t a soda, cola or pop…it’s a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. Example: “What kinda coke you want?” 15. Fried catfish is the other white meat. 16. You understand these jokes and forward them to your friends from Tennessee (and those who just wish they were).

POPSCrazy Conspiracy Theorism Disavowed The evidence that President Obama's "Green Jobs Czar" is a total radical continues to grow. Gateway Pundit is now reporting that Van Jones in addition to having said he was a communist in the past, also signed onto the radical 9/11 "Truther" statement. "Truthers" believe President George W. Bush and the U.S. Government were responsible for the September 11 attacks on the United States, or at the least had foreknowledge and did nothing to try and stop it. Below you see the image of Jones' name listed among 100 prominent Americans who had signed onto the statement. He is listed at #47. http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/6D05BD78-AA93-41DE-9F93-CE81CB6742A6/ http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/4D643726-F0D4-4C36-89C0-795E108E306D/ Van Jones Denies Signing Truther Petition-Apologizes for the Other Crazy Things http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2009/09/van-jones-denies-signing-truther.html YID with LID blog

POPSJune Hasn't Been This Nice Since ... 1913 Typically in June, high-pressure systems begin to form above the Valley. High pressure means clear skies and little wind. And, in June, clear skies let in the sunshine, sending the temperatures soaring. This June, though, has remained cool because of what Meyers called "a persistent area of low pressure off the West Coast." The low pressure has prevented the high-pressure systems from getting into place. Alas, all good things must come to an end. This weekend, the days will heat up. Temperatures are expected to be back in the 104-105 range by the middle of next week.

POPSTogo and Balto, Dog Heros of the “Great Race of Mercy”
Serum was located in Seattle and flown to Anchorage, then shipped to Nenana, but that was as far as it could go. A relay of dog teams was the answer. It took 5 1/2 days — 127 1/2 hours and 674 miles to get the needed serum to Nome. This was a trip that normally takes 3 weeks. Even though there were 20 musher teams and over 100 dogs, two dogs standout in name and fame, Balto and Togo . Balto was the lead dog of the final relay team with Gunnar Kaasen as musher. Balto was a young dog, and not a speedy racer. If Kaasen had known the storm and blizzard was so bad, he would not have chosen Balto as lead dog. There was such storms, creating new snow, and winds, creating white outs. It was often hard to see the dogs or your hands. Temperatures were often 50 degrees below zero. Balto and Kaasen and the team of dogs arrived February 1, at Safety Shelter, 21 miles from Nome, but the next driver, was sleeping, thinking Kaasen was being held up by the storm.
