Weekend!

...
We've made it! The weekend is here and even Mother Nature is in a good mood. Josh Pastner tonight at 5, "let go my Eggo," "McHappy Day!" ISS in sight, in the "Dog House," bargain stadiums and flying cars.

If you are going shopping this weekend, it may be wise to learn about the "Return Policy" on the stores you visit.


Here's your "Shuttle Atlantis/ISS" update for the day.
You stargazers may wish to mark your calendar for next week, there are 3 great "viewing opportunities" for the ISS and Shuttle.
(Next Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Evening, not early morning)



Having "Eggo Waffles" for breakfast, consider yourself lucky. They're scarce.


The "Ronald McDonald House" will benefit today if you visit McDonalds. $1 for every breakfast sandwich sold, it's called "McHappy Day!"


One of my earliest known memories of reporting was at this spot. A young upstart named Martina Navritilova was battling Chris Evert in the Virginia Silms tennis tournament. This had to be around 1980-ish.


Here are some of the worlds "wildest" accommodations! Brings new meaning to being in "the Dog House."

Don't know if you can live in it, but the price is right, just a shade under $600K, that's a huge discount from the "building price." (of 55 MILLION, Detroit is suffering)




Some "light" reading you will enjoy.





In DAYBREAK TRIVIA this morning: "Venus Retro-grade" and "Cap'n Crunch!"

From Corie's "Free Friday.." a helpful link.

......

Skies are clearing...

...
Finally, clearing skies, warmer weather ahead. Outcome of NBA Grizzly game. Sexiest man alive? A spectacular failure in the auto world, stress on the jobsite and a "dream" of an ocean liner. Space walking...

Is your job stressful? This morning on Daybreak are you overworked, underpaid?

The first of three space walks will begin about 8:20 this morning, Memphis time, mostly house keeping and maintenance chores for the crew of the shuttle Atlantis and the ISS.

If you follow things like this, then you'll want to know who is the "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2009.

In DAYBREAK TRIVIA: An older car in the news, not always a good thing.

Our "Grizzlies" picked up a "W" last night.

Look what "pulled into port" in Port Canaveral, Florida, yes, it was a Dream.

In Massachusetts, it wasn't a dream. This guy really did drop 20 MILLION for a new library for the town.

Don't know about you, but this concerns me.

Kate talks candidly about A-Rod.

Apparently, this is tops on the list, on most letters to Santa this year.

Shopping this year for "Black Friday" will take time and preparation.

This MIGHT help, one big retailer is offering up a "Lay - Away" plan... "Got kids?" I'm sure you'll be visiting them.

A little something to consider if you are in the "giving mood."
