NCAA Football: Some Early Observations
LSU: With all the talk about Urban Meyer going to Florida and the "ballcoach" at South Carolina, not many folks are talking about Les Miles coming over from Oklahoma State replacing Nick Saban at LSU.

IZEE Growing Up In a logging Camp Chapter 3
IZEE Chapter 3 ~ Early years ~ Bates, Oregon My memory of my early childhood years, is a little distant. Until the end of my third grade, we lived in Bates, Oregon. This is what I learned in Bates. First, I’d learned that when my mother raised her voice, even people outside our family, did what she wanted. At five years old, I had just started the first grade. There were no kindergartens. Mom had decided I was old enough, forcing the school to take me, even though the cutoff ...
What to Do When Your Puppy Dog Is Chewing Everything In Sight
A puppy wanting to chew makes you want to scream! Do remember that, like children who search their new world with their hands, so do puppies search with their mouths. While there is a difference between exploratory chewing and problem chewing, the problem chewing is sometimes related to their need for attention, food or tension release. However, most of the time, puppies tend to chew because they are teething. Expect them to do so until they’re about six months old.

Arizona Blue Gunfighter: Wild Flower
Arizona Blue—Gunfighter Wild Flower [Episode Two: Tombstone - 1882] [Tombstone, Arizona—1882] Arizona-Blue wiped the dust off his pants as he dismounted his horse, Dan.

The Drumming of the Woodpecker & Faded Over halls
When I was but fifteen-years old, my grandfather was a good, if not great hunter, a sportsman one might say, something I never quite acquire a taste for. That was around around l956, I suppose, take or give a little, a year here a year there. Now that I look back on those wondrous days [for times plays an interesting game with our memory banks, time, the commodity that once spent, will never return] for he is dead now, I wrote a poem to remember him by, possibly the only one my memories can ...
The Dark Bedroom

Anyhow, he was snoring away—(Mike) you could see into the livingroom through the open space of the door (I opened it a bit), the space heater was flickering ...
The Cigar
For some odd reason Günter’s mind started shifting into a different mode—he was at an old friend’s work place, at a party [dreaming], he always liked a good cigar now and then, on special occasions that is, --and Molly, the secretary, asked him if he wanted one. He looked at her, said ‘yes,’ in an inquisitive way, and to his misfortune, it was quite small. Bewildered he gave no response except, a shallow: ‘Thanks,’ and went about and lit it. Then the old friend—the one that mysteriously ...

Nine Movies That Make You Want To Yell, stop Saying That
Movie moments are nice things to share with the people you care about. Most of those shared moments consist of “Remember that one part when the guy with the thing…” and before they can finish you’re interjecting with your own vague, “Oh totally, I love that part!” But occasionally this process extends beyond an inner circle and goes global in its reach. This is where a perfectly fine movie goes to the realm of annoying, because of our need to repeat the catchy lines ...

To Muck Or Not To Muck?
After a hand is completed in online poker you'll never find me showing my cards, win or lose, to the rest of the table. I always muck. In fact my settings are pre-selected to "always muck". You pay to see my cards, and if I've lost a hand online there can be no reason to show my beaten hand. But now I ask myself if this is the best strategy? Because there are times in poker when it pays to show. That's certainly true in live-game poker, but what about the online variety, which is a ...
Battle Scared Streets
Advance: I do believe the beginnings of WWIII, started in Korea, and went onto Vietnam; and then all the little wars in-between culminated any kind of world stability they thought WWI and WWII would bring; and over from all this poured Eastern European wars. And now the Red Horse of Apocalypse is having its day in the Middle East, to include Israel’s continuing war, with its neighbors.
