Not really, I spent the day at the Hampton, VA BMX track with my kids and had more fun than I've had all year. These guys are so inspirational, they make me want to go out get a bike and start racing! I think I'll probably just put all that energy into 09 and make enough to open a track. As long as there happy I'm ecstatic! Here is a picture of them on there bikes, the picture is a link to there first time around the track too.

Hello,

My name is Larry Betterton, I am the owner of Betterton Home Improvement.

I would like to say thank you for trying to get help to those business owners who suffered such a terrible loss. I can only speak for Betterton Home Improvement so I must limit what I can say:

As far as Betterton goes, we are a family run business: my wife, daughter, son, brothers all work with me and and most have been with me for the past 30 years.

The fire that started next to our business office did in fact take the entire building along with our office and everything in it required to run a business, nothing is left but ashes and our faith in God.

I just wanted to let it be known that we do have all of our people working and that not one of our customers jobs were left unattended for a single day.

It will be a little while before our office can be rebuilt but in the mean time I still must keep everyone working.

We are not asking or expecting anyone to help us, We only want to work and take care of our customers first.

We are all happy that no one was injured, yet sadened by the fact that some of the companies (like us) were not insured.

It will be costly to rebuild our business to the point that it was prior to the fire so, we need work and losts of it.

All we ask is that people keep us in mind and allow us the prividgle to continue providing their free estimates for home improvements.

Thank you all.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (AP) -- Fire officials are investigating a blaze that destroyed six businesses in a Portsmouth strip mall.

A Portsmouth fire department spokesman says the fire broke out around 3 a.m. Sunday at the strip mall on Tyre Neck Road.

A gun shop and two hair salons were among the businesses destroyed.

The 25-year-old strip mall is owned by Marilyn Taylor, who built it with her late husband. Taylor says at least 50 people were employed by the businesses that were destroyed.

Lots of loss, if you can help please call the red cross to see if they are taking any donations. The Strip Mall was destroyed. It is a sad time of year to see anything like this. Please help if you can.
