Points of Interest is the daily link dump for your morning or afternoon commute in and out of Souvenir City. We’ll be throwing together some other stops from out there in blogdome and the interwebs to peak your interest. Some of them will actually be what some might consider educational. Most of them, are going to everything but that.
So, in our process of actually moving, we need to stash away some cash which is why we’re getting up at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow to do some work that doesn’t involve sitting on the couch and informing you people all day. Don’t get us wrong, we love you guys and hate manual labor. But, it’s just one day. So, tomorrow might be a little short. We’ll put together some posts to get you into the afternoon and should be back and strapped in around 5 p.m. Until then, let Brooklyn Decker take you through the night up to the start of the games (gallery link after the jump, damn you Andy Roddick)… Oh, and keep the tips coming to SouvenirCityBlog@gmail.com. We’ll be over at TBL tonight for the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Game.

What is going on in this crazy, crazy world?!……North Korea announces that if push comes to shove, they’re not above nuclear annihilation. Didn’t we already solve this in the 1980s with Russia?…..Katie Couric is taking a BEATING on the nightly news ratings. Tough to compete with some established guys like Charlie Gibson and Brian Williams……We’re still fairly young (we like to think) and this is telling us that we’re going to have to carry $155,000 to get the country out of debt? You guys better start clicking on a LOT more ads….
