BLUE SKIES FROM THE PALM BEACH POST


I'm not much of a news hound. It's all so depressing and I like all the skies in my world to be blue ALL the time. Nevertheless, I subscribe to the feeds from my local paper. I scan them daily (while wearing rose colored glasses) looking for a little good news. Today I realized I haven't looked at them for awhile and had 380 articles to peruse. With so many, I was bound to find a little good news today. I thought I would share the good news I found.

Home prices are up in Palm Beach County. Foreclosures are down. This is good. Things are looking up.


If you watch college football at all, no doubt you've heard of Tim Tebow. I could be excommunicated from my family for even mentioning this name but I will risk it for the sake of WTH? Realizing that Tim Tebow will not play college ball forever, Coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday that backup quarterback John Brantley, a redshirt sophomore, will receive "meaningful minutes" in games this season. Seriously? "meaningful minutes"? Meaningful minutes in football? What is that? At any rate, without Tim on the field, the announcers may even realize there are other players on the team and more on the opposing side. This is a very good thing. I think Tim Tebow is a great guy and a great player (that's hard to say as a Seminole mom) but he doesn't play the game all by himself. *rant disguised as a good news over*

Call me a sentimental fool but a shiny new penny makes me smile. If you feel the same, you can smile big today as the third of four new pennies celebrating Abraham Lincoln's bicentennial was released today. That's pretty cool. There is a down side to this good news: It costs the US mint 1.04 cents to make a penny these days.

Virgin American Airlines announced plans to begin non-stop flights from Ft. Lauderdale to San Francisco and Los Angeles this fall. The introductory fare-$99! I just love a bargain!

Coach Bobby Bowden is entering his 34th season as Florida State University's football coach. Our beloved Bobby is on a year to year contract. Here's hoping this season will be his best....and ours. :-) Go Seminoles!

Smoky Bear is 65 years old this month. Happy Birthday, Smoky!

That's it. Out of almost 400 articles, this is all the good news I could find. A little good news is better than none, right?


What's your good news today?
