February 16th, 2010 · No Comments

Wonder of wonders, with three Zambonis, they couldn’t get one of them to work! It took over an hour to get them working and finally get the course ready for competition.

Winter Olympic Games: Who’s Got the Albatross?

February 14th, 2010 · No Comments

Funny, how screw-ups are remembered and great shows aren’t? In my memory, the only opening ceremonies that I vaguely remember are just one, those stupid, cheesy stainless steel pickup trucks at the Atlanta Olympics.

Jackson, Wyoming became the 1000th US city to visit these pages. Jackson, just south of Yellowstone National Park, in the northern end of Jackson Hole, and just east of the Grand Teton Mountains is a winter headquarters for fun, sun, and snow and a massive Elk herd.

Florianopolis, Brazil: 500th Foreign City to Visit Mustangrambles

January 1st, 2010 · No Comments

Now, using an internet program, I can usually tell which city visits, but no more detail than that. Often, cities are missed because they run through a massive central server and I cannot identify with that. A good example is Switzerland, which has only one computer in Zurich apparently, because that is as close as I can get.

When Did We Lose Control of Our Children?

December 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment

When I was young, on a cross-country ride, my son played in the back where the seats were down and he had plenty of room to lay down and stretch out in the trunk if he wanted to. He could also climb up to the front and sit on his knees so he could [...]

Football: Texas, Nebraska, Pitt, Cincinnati, Oregon, Ore State

December 6th, 2009 · 2 Comments

As a Sooner watching Oklahoma lose to the Huskers, I figured Oklahoma managed to lose another one. I didn’t give Nebraska the credit for beating OU. I have to apoligize for that. Nebraska is one heck of team and deserves better recognition for a great team, a great coach, and a great effort.

Tiger Woods: Above the Law?

November 29th, 2009 · No Comments

If my wife had gone to the door and told them that I was sleeping and that they should come back the next (3rd) day, they would have told her to wake me up and get my ass down stairs to talk to them.

Obama’s Time Management

October 26th, 2009 · No Comments

Maybe it was his golf game that made him unaware of the Tea Party participants during the Arpil 15th March on Washington. Only a President who is a liar or an idiot would be unaware of that many people converging on the Capitol steps. Surely, someone on his staff would have mentioned the turnout to him.

For You Golfers…

April 12th, 2009 · No Comments

I just want to encourage anyone out there who wants to get a better game. Find your natural swing, your natural grip, and work on slight changes that will make your ball go long and straight. If it happened to me, it can happen to you. Go play and keep your brain in the game.

Florida is NCAA National Champs

January 9th, 2009 · No Comments

Florida, thanks to its defense, not its offense, is the NCAA National Football Champions for the 2nd time in three years. Tebow, the quarterback, is good and will get more credit than he deserves, but the 24 points they put on the board aren’t even close to Oklahoma’s normal score.
