So the NU v. Mizzou game went just about as I called it. I’d look even more psychic if I’d have stuck with my original pick of 50-17.

Here’s 3 vids from the latest typhoon. Fortunately the 3rd typhoon that I mentioned in the previous post isn’t going to affect Taiwan.
During my bike ride by the river last Thursday I saw a lot of damage and how high the river rose. Kudos to everyone involved in the cleanup… heavy machinery everywhere. I did [...]

Although it is at the NRA convention, he speaks more about America and other things than about the right to bear arms.
When we’ve been back in the USA, I’ve always enjoyed when I had the chance to hear Beck’s radio show or watch his TV show. I love it when people shoot straight and he [...]

Found a “rad” video on youtube the other day…
I can’t believe I didn’t know about this effort at the time (about 1985 I’d guess) but I’m glad to have found it now.
