Mini Expansion and Today's Sport Events!

I am currently at work on this cloudy, cool Saturday. I just finished with my fifth customer of the day (I've been here since 8), and I am all alone...apparently, my cohort forgot to show up. Am I upset? Hell no...like I can't handle this deluge of customers...I suppose it's a security risk for no one else to be here in case I am robbed...and if someone should for some reason come in for a loan or if I need supervisor approval, I guess I'm outta luck. lol No problem, tho...cuz the lobby closes at 12...and then I sit here til 4:15 handling all the nobodies who come through the drive-thru. Good thing I brought a movie to watch on our hanging-tvs. OR I could watch the Michigan game!!

Also, I read that BMW is thinking about releasing new styles of the Mini in the US...in addition to the wonderful Cooper. Of course, they say it would have to be small in whatever category they venture into next (station wagon, pick-up, and off-road are mentioned as possibilities). If I were willing to part with the vehicle I have currently, I would definitely choose a Mini, hands-down. I love the Cooper immensely...who cares that I would look hillarious in such a small car?? It would be fun...

SPORTS:

The Braves play tonight in Houston in Game 3 of their playoff series...the Astros took them out in Game 1 (10-5); they slammed the Astros in Game 2 (7-1)...so anything can happen...I'm pullilng for my tomahawk-choppers. The game starts at 7:35pm on Fox.

Michigan faces Minnesota at home today at 1 pm. With this year's unstable team, all bets are off, especially with the Gophers being 4-1. Hopefully, the Blue will come to the field today as they did last week against the Spartans. At least they are back in the AP Top 25 Ranking.

In tennis, my man, Robby Ginepri (#19), lost his latest tournament (the AIG Japan Open)...I'm just waiting for the day when he makes it big...cuz I know he will. Plus, he's very nice to look at. heh heh. Davenport (#2) and Mauresmo (#4) will face each other in the Tashkent Open finals...hopefully, Davenport will send the French fry packing.
