Congrats Paul, Bill and Exciting Guild Wars News!

Couldn't sleep so it's a good time to congratulate Paul Turner for running a good race and Bill Williams on his win as Mayor of Saltillo. Still think the world of Paul and I still don't like Bill. Oh well, I will eventually leave the area and none of this will matter. Saltillo has been fun, but Tishomingo County still calls me home. Bill, you need to get off your butt and go tell the people at the new Piggly Wiggly Grocery that they are welcome in the community and brag on their display about Saltillo.



Now on to the important stuff, LOL. Get ready Guild Wars players. There's a huge splash of news on the net. NewEgg is now selling a pre-order of Guild Wars 2 and even announced an availability date!!!!! Would you believe 8/31/2009!?!?!?!?!? Yep, the end of August this year! Go read about it at newegg.com. Certainly hope this is not some error and the release date is pushed back. It seems strange the NCSoft and ArenaNet people would permit this pre-order and not announce it on the web or in gaming periodicals. An August release is a long way from the rumored 2010 date. Gosh, wish I had the time to finish all of Guild Wars 1, but it'll be exciting to see what they have done to improve the game environment. Nay-sayers even have to admit that GuildWars has some of the most beautiful rendering in the gaming world.

Back to bed. Everyone have a casual Wednesday.
