GM just doesn't get it

GM seems to do everything in their power to garner bad press and scare away potential buyers.

Random sports observations

Morten Andersen, the place kicker for Atlanta, has been kicking in the NFL since I was in 8th grade.

The Nashville Predators broadcast team (FSN South) is almost as good as the Wings team. They get a bonus point since one of them says "Dee-troy-it" (like a Canuck would) instead of "Dee-troyt"

Cut finger

This is the dressing for my cut finger. I cut my finger yesterday folding my pocket knife. It took off a chunk about the size of a pink fingernail and about 2-3x as thick. It bled like crazy, so I went to urgent care and they cleaned it up for me. They put a pad on it that has agents in it that help clot the blood and will eventually help the skin patch itself up.
