Birds

And now you officially think that I am off my rocker ...like over the edge...have lost all my marbles..is two bricks short of a full load...has altheimers...delirious...sunk to new depths of despair...OK OK, you get my drift...but my question for the day is...drum roll please... Why do birds perch on lines above traffic? ...what?...perfectly set up, with perfect spacing, and with perfect views of whatever they are looking at...what? Take a peak at what I'm talking about...do you even notice?...or do you even care?...other than covering your head, if you are walking under them... as they appear to have no scruples when it comes to unloading their stuff...and why is their stuff white?...nobody else has white stuff... It makes no difference if it's telephone wires or power lines...by the way, if nobody is using the land line telephones, why are those still there?...it'll take away from the birds?...is it a conservation type of thing?...by the bird lobbyists of America? .....

The viewing audience is down...way down...partly because there are way too many "singing audition shows" out there...partly because it is old hat...and, partly because the new judging panel is perfectly awful...gone is the wonderful JLo...gone is the pouty Simon...the 2 new ladies bicker over nothing...and are annoying...Dog has been there too long...the lone salvation is Keith Urban, who shows positive life and fun... American Idol ... BUT ...it is about the talent...and this show seems to still find the kids who have it...the journey is TV long...too many shows like the last 2 nights...I tape it and watch it all in about 2 hours (both of them)... Did you watch the Oprah interview of Lance Armstrong ?...man oh man...I think he thought that if he used her, he could dodge what sports writers would ask...ha ha...so wrong...Oprah knows here stuff and is the best at what she does...he got grilled and drilled...and he came out of it, just the way he is...there was a follow ...

From just the weird story of the season... Manti Te'o fantasy ex-girl friend... Notre Dame's star defensive player...who was the runner up for the prestigious Heisman Trophy ...who didn't exist at all...he called it a hoax...why did he do this?...the best follow up line I've heard, on his Facebook page...switched from 'in a relationship' to 'it's complicated'... Chip Kelly ...from declining the Philadelphia Eagles job to stay at the U of O ...to...taking the job a week later...what?...rumors have been abundant about a possible set of NCAA sanctions...maybe that was the trigger...whatever the reason, I want to see if his system will work in the NFL...I am intrigued... SDSU made a bold move this past year to jump to the Big East Conference ...then... Boise St said no way...changed their mind...and the Aztecs did the same...had to pay a big amount of $ to the BE and back they come...to the MWC ...what?... Lance Armstrong is trying to use ...

Mali

It is a united front...I suppose...as the French are on the ground in Mali ...and are about to engage in combat with the rebel forces... Al Quida ...it's a sad case that there are goons out there that believe in what that those despicable humans do...and the only way to eradicate them, is to do so...on a positive note, it is outstanding that others feel the same way we do... On a much more mundane level...my stuff... The Clippers are playing good teams at their homes...and are rolling...without CPIII...beat up on Houston this time...at their own method...speed and threes...next up, is the unpredictable Wolves...the Lake Show whupped the Bucks in LA...geez, Milwaukee is a bad team, a very bad team...PDX lost in OT...I am telling you that they are much better than earlier in the season...trying hard to play D... All my golfing blokes canceled out today...range of excuses are from colds, to flu, to too cold...I'm going out there at noonish to practice...great facility......

Global Freezing

The first 4 years here we were bathing on the beach during these days...really...thinking we made the best move ever...the last 2 weeks have been desperately cold ...like in the 40's or so at night...and barely up to the 60's during the day...at Sycuan (El Cajon) it has been freezing...well, it is supposedly going to finally snap tomorrow...back to the 70's...hip, hip, hooray! The Super Bowl just may be the Harbaugh Bowl ...one bros. coaches the Ravens, and the other is at the 49ers...of course, there are a couple of key games standing in the way... The Bolts are about to announce their new Head Coach...the Bolt's private jet went and got him to interview...a good sign...as all the other blokes flew in on their own... Mike McCoy , OC of the Broncos...maybe he'll bring Peyton with him... Huge game for the Aztecs on Wednesday...at home...hosting the Rebs...both quality teams... Do you watch the Bachelor? ...seems like a good bloke...find the gal that the...

It's a Mad, Mad, Monday

I get this... the NFL has to be the most watched of all the pro sports...and this is the league that started the replays...but, didn't it seem bizarre about some of the non-turned decisions?...I mean, c'mon...not that I think that any fray is rigged... BUT ...the scores seem very close to the Vegas lines... OK, enough of that...my team that had to win, 'er for my Vegas bet...oops, there's that name again...the 49ers , looked dang good...and move on to play the Falcons ...who had a bizarre win over the Seahawks ...2 of the games were decided by incredibly turrible prevent defense... Denver had the other one won...and let a "hail Mary" work for the Ravens ...what?...as did Seattle, who scored themselves with some 30 seconds to go...and then lost...the only team that looked real solid was New England ...who uses parts of Chip Kelly's hurry up scheme ...so... NE vs Balt , and Atl vs SF ...good stuff... You watch the Golden Globes? ...it was the domi...
