After watching a TV station yesterday showing reporters chasing around after the tornadoes, I concluded that people out there are crazy.

World leaders gather in London.

You got one of those November frames? How fun.

In the long run, that was a good loss for D.Rose and the Bulls. MJ missed a lot of game winning/game changing shots in the playoffs before the Bulls won the East.

Let's not let the big picture distract us from what really matters - the Heat need to go down in a ball of flaming misery.

I agree entirely.

Side note: if the Bulls can't get their act together, and they're in quite the hole, I would really like to see Dirk finally hoist the trophy.

Yep.

Of course, the parallels are uncanny.

About ready to call out the dogs and find out where you went, sbxx.

Doing OK?

Doing well. Thanks for asking.

We were in Africa last week. Just got back.

Africa really gives you a lot of perspective.

A lot of things you thought were important really aren't all that important.

Never been to Africa, but completely understand your point.


Welcome back.

What's new here?

It's good to have high standards.

Welcome back.

I thought you might have become a societal recluse now that Oprah is shutting down.

Did you spot miyata man over there?

You see it.

I can't say Africa would be my first choice as a destination, sbxx. There some folks from Zimbabwe that the MIL's church sponsor, that come visit periodically. I don't know how they do it, as there are rarely tales of any type of happiness from them. Even though they are the most positive people I have ever met.

I do hope you all had a good time. Sounds like it was eye opening.

doper

made it back last night before the last round of tornadoes. We have emerged unscathed.

No, but I did see a stray dog's leg get run over by a car. Pretty sure that'll leave a permanent mental scar.

And my wife did get attacked by some guy in the hotel restaurant. Hands around her throat kind of attack. I jacked him up pretty good.

wtf?

Good to hear it.

Not happening.

Not this year.

Lets be real . . . it's about wait til next year.

It sounds adventuresome, whatever you were doing.

Of course you don't have to travel far to see this. On Saturday I was riding and noticed a smallish dog in a yard the other side of the road lock in on me and chase, apparently oblivious to the oncoming vehicles. It narrowly missed getting squashed--I don't think the driver even saw it.

People who let their animals run out on the road really irritate me.
