2008 Revs Up Modesto

Greetings Modesto Fans:
(reading time:  less than it takes to clean up the last of the Christmas stuff around the house)

Wow…it still has not set in that it is 2008.  After the holiday haze we are back in action and already celebrated Elvis’ birthday.  This was a much happier thing to celebrate than “Dead Elvis” day.  We are smack dab in the middle of the 1^st round of primaries and while we watched the primary returns from New Hampshire and got the State of the State address from the Governator, we also got a early year city council meeting so there was no missing the smell of politics in the air across the entire country.  Let the games begin.  Speaking of games, no sooner do we close the season on college football (Cal finished with a win!) we go into college basketball (Cal is strong) and in between we are strapping on the skis and the boards and hitting the local slopes that are now covered in over 10 feet of snow.  Yahoo.  Here in Modesto, the Gallo Center fires up again and there are many new events at the State this month and the local restaurants dig it when these houses are in action. Best of all, we will have a new camera network on downtown so we can cut down on the number of squad cars in the middle of 10^th Street and more people will want to be downtown. Yes that is the ticket, we need to think smart for 2008 here in the greater Modesto area.  Let’s see what is happening shall we?
