Again

And yet again we have a school shooting ...of course, it could have been anywhere...where a deranged person takes aim and kills...and maims...for his personal pleasure...I guess...and lives are changed forever... Why?...there are the incredible gun laws that allow the use of them by most anyone...the country still doesn't have high enough standards for those to own one...blame the NRA and their lobbyists...it's beyond shameful... So, the country has to piece together fixes to the system...to find ways to prevent the flaws...the Prez reacted like he should have...condemning the law of the land on this issue... Schools all across the nation are meeting...as I write...again...what would they do in the same situation?...how can this be prevented?...limit the entry spots...like what is at the airports...at what cost is enough?...more police protection at the schools... Tremendous story out of Roseburg...that has yet to get out...where a former military man...charged the s...

And Furthermore

Syria ...the strikes...against whom?...Russia has claimed it's stake in the region, I suppose...under the guise of support for the present dictator...hmmm...really?...as those have said over and over...if there were no oil there, would there be such a ruckus?... Try to follow the posers for the presidency...the rationale for each of them on this issue...problem is...I'm not sure who is right and who is wrong... Now that fall is upon us, doesn't that mean the weather is changing?...not so much here...but definitely on the east coast...BTW, we dodged one while in Maui...talking storm... The Pads wrap up their dismal season this week...a highlight...one catcher from the farm system got his chance for the "bigs"...got a hit...started...and is from the high school that our family went to...and I taught at....North Salem...Rockie Gale...way cool... Egads...my fantasy baseball team is in the finals for champ...bizarre way of scoring used...anyway, I'm c...

Dilemma

It's the afternoon...and CH is finished with his round of golf...seriously, I have a little break thru in my game...mum...right now...but...it started in Maui...and I  used it here...hmmm...promise on the horizon?... Anyway...as the roast is in the oven, I have some time to talk...and the topic might be a tad bit out there for you females...maybe not...as it may apply to other sports...maybe to gals something...but you guys, it's right on...and will spark your brain...maybe you don't give a damn... I have gone round and round about this...when the player can play pro ball...in this case football...it takes 3 years out of high school to qualify now...popped up when the RB out of LSU has been considering NOT PLAYING his 3rd year...so as to not get injured and injure his chances at making big bucks in the NFL...hmmm... There are those who think that the time spent in college is a great time to mature...prior to making the big step...and unlike in basketball, where it...

It's odd all the things that come up when you've been gone...like the car has tire pressure probs...there is no food in the refrig...so much mail to go thru...piles of clothes to wash...bills to pay...478 emails...line up golf dates...ah yes, the list goes on and on... The flight was super fast...almost an hour shorter than going...tailwinds rather than headwinds... DWTS...seems to me that the last year's winner, is a very fine judge...new blood is needed...Carrie Ann is a pain...and the voice of Julianne is screeching...oh yea...the contestants are OK...is it just me, or is there a lot of drama on this version?... The Ducks are in a downward trend...and unless, they make some key changes, it will be a boo fest...the D Coordinator is a a major problem....and now...the first time an issue at QB...they are Daffy Duck...so frustrating...many teams get beat...but not by being improperly guided...this one is by that... My FF team...got a win...not only that...but scored ...

Shock and Aw...CRAP!

Hey kids...this is our last day in paradise...back to the daily grind in SD...ha ha...it's been a super 2 weeks, but we miss our dog and home... I told you to take the points...hmmm...did not think the Duck game was to be a blow out...WELL!...it was...for the Utes...please, don't give me the crap that they are a strong team and all....lets get into this... I've been saying for two seasons now, the defensive coordinator is poor...that UO has to out score peops to win...no better example than yesterday....never seen so many blown coverages and missed tackles...the preparation is beyond compare...totally embarrassing...is it that the players they play?...certainly, with the $ that school has, it can't be the recruiting.... However...that side of the ball, equalled the other...the O was dismal...so much in fact, that the QB was replaced in the 1st half...problems problems problems...this old boy couldn't take it...so, off I went to the pool... Got a book by the ...
