Well,  I did’nt really read Mr. Navarrette today, kinda of skimmed his article and it made a lot more sense that way. He was talking about kids of illegals and getting their education and staying in the USA, many of them living their entire lives in the US. I don’t want to do anything to hurt anyone, you know what I mean, but on the other hand where do you stop?…Well, I said I wasn’t going to read him and I didn’t, much…well, not real good…but he did have his e-mail address back at  the  end of the article…but, if I inherit a stolen car, it is still a stolen car….Right?

Gosh, these conferences…”What the hell is going on?”….to quote on old friend of mine….Now the Mountain West is doing the, er, stealing from the WAC….Fresno State and Nevada?….BYU going Independent?…Did you read TCU’s advise to them?…Don’t do that…Independent is not the way to go…and TCU may be trying to leave the Mountain West? One reason is money and they want a BCS chance, for real. I don’t blame them for that. However, in my mind I already had a case for the old MWC, with Utah, TCU and BYU, especially with the addition of Boise State….Both Fresno State and Nevada are good ball clubs….Well, the good news is we don’t have to change the name of the Mountain West or the WAC…It’s not like the Big 10/12 or the Pac 10/11 or is the the PAC 10/12…I forget….No, its the Big 12/10….Wait it that right?…Crap, I got to learn them all over again….

I was watching a program on TV the other night. The folks caught a huge alligator gar. One guy held its mouth open revealing about a thousand sharp teeth….well, a bunch of teeth anyway. It reminded me of the story in my downloads from Cousins, Chapter Nine. Some of you that live around Coal Fire Creek,  Alabama may have fished that hole. Question, can that big alligator gar still be alive and well since my youthful days there in Coal Fire. The hole that has the old cypress stump was up creek from the US Highway 82 bridge near Coal Fire, probably 1/2 mile north or so..I wonder when the last time that big rascal was seen by someone. Listen, as a kid many years ago, swimming in the same hole with that monster took guts…I would not swim nude in that hole  for fear of him thinking that I was trolling…that was a scary place to fish…check out Cousins, Chapter Nine in the downloads, part fiction, part true….Thanks, Pete
