I also took a trip around NJ and found a house totally decked out for the holidays. From afar, the house looked great, but up close it was a little scary. I feel bad for the people who live across the street; they probably can’t get any sleep with the glare from the lights.
NASCAR Update:
The National Guard will be moving from the #16 Ford driven by Greg Biffle to the #25 Chevy driven by Casey Mears in 2007.
Giants Update:
It started off great and then just went downhill in a hurry as the Giants lost to the New Orleans Saints 30-7. The Giants have lost 7 of 8, but at 7-8, Big Blue could still make the playoffs with a win over the Washington Redskins on Saturday.
