GOING.... GOING.... GOING...... ALMOST GONE!

WHAT DATE IS TODAY ANYWAY?????

Well apparently the summer season has started sooner than we thought. Two separate friends of mine have told me the same thing... nearly 3/4 of the beach parking permits are already gone for the 2007 summer season! I mean it's not even APRIL!???? SO... if you need to get a a permit... these are village beaches I'm talking about... you better get in gear and go get your permit while they still have them. Last year I learned the hard way and waited til the week before Memorial Day and it was already too late. I guess I better head over tomorrow and get mine.

The permits are free for village residents and $275 dollars for non-residents (as far as I know anyway). You can get the permit by mail or go into the village town hall at 86 Main St. Here's the link for all the details;

In other news.... I'm double checked again... and it seems it's true, it's true! OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE is coming to Southampton. Isn't this the place that has the "Bloomin' Onion?" I guess this isn't such a bad thing after all!

So I was looking at this picture above of my buddy Al and me.... OK WE WERE BOTH ON THE SAME FLIGHT... BUT I'M HOPING WE'LL STAY IN TOUCH....and thought we could both to shed a few pounds. The inconvenient truth is.... Al baby you're making me look thin!

So after I was looking at this photo... I started thinking about something i recently read;

British researchers have found that subliminal messages really do work-- even when people don't know they've even seen anything. Ok, so why is this surprising? Because most people think subliminal messages are nothing more than plot devices for sit-coms and movie comedies. Messages of that nature are banned in the U.K., but not here in the U.S. That scares the bejeezus out of me!

On the positive side of things, could you imagine a television channel that used this for good? Don't smoke! Put down that twinkee! Go jog and get to the gym! Ok, I would actually Pay for that! I would personally tune into the fitness channel... "get to the gym." After all summer is just around the corner.
