Albuquerque Journal, Wednesday, October 2, 2013, Ruben Navarrette, Jr., article, “Both Parties to Blame for mess”….Mr. Navarrette,  you wrote a very good article and covered both sides of the aisle very well. Inaction has shut down our government. Many thousands of people are not getting paid, the economy is losing the gains we made in recent months, our security is jeopardized, and on and on it goes. It’s crazy. Congressmen, get your act together and get the government back on track. Do your jobs. What a wreck you all are making of America. Mr. Navarrette said in his closing paragraph, “You would think that constantly emphasizing who stands to catch the blame would create an incentive for those people to do the right thing. Instead, it pushes the other side to do nothing but sit back and watch their adversaries flounder-while the American people suffer…….” Nice article, Ruben, and well said….  I am sick of the b s being born in Washington and flushed down to the United States of America and called Justice. Are most congressmen lawyers? Just wondered……..Pete Hester

Shame, shame on you congressmen….You are shutting down the US Government over a issue that not all of us like, but still,  you are shutting down the USA because you don’t like it, you don’t like what it does and you don’t like what you feel it is going to become. Like it or not, it passed congress and became law. Listen you lame brains,  you made the laws, including this one. We are a majority rule, like it or not, and it is law. Man up….go on….run the government like you were elected to do. You don’t have to like it and you can now strive to change it, but too many folks are affected by a government shutdown, so get on with the cotton picking program of running our government and put the nation back to work…This is ridiculous…..Pete Hester   Ps.

Bama vs Ole Miss….Every weekend Bama has to play with a national championship on their mind…Every one wants to beat the top team in the nation and they always play Bama with reckless abandon, much like Colorado State did…Colo St is a good team for the Mountain West and will win some games. Who would have thought they would play as good as they did last week. Now, for Ole Miss, they want to upset to Boys from Bama bad….Too bad boys, Bama by at least 14 points. Bama wins 25 – 0

Today I have added the complete novel of J. I. Hall, Jr. If you have time you can download or read it in it’s entirety. I grew tired of waiting on some publisher to call, er, or write, I’m kidding as that does not happen, so I’ll let you decide if it has any merit…Thanks, Pete   ps…Judge Iverson Bonner was my granddad that I wrote about in Chapter Six, titled Big Mama, of Cousin’s. He was a very fine man and an excellent Granddad….I truly loved him…..And the Hall name came from an old boy over in Tuscaloosa….I ain’t gonna name him though, well, not today any way. You might see a post from him as a guest writer in a day or two and I reckon you can figure it out…..

13-Year-Old Singer’s Audition Will Blow You Away (VIDEO)

I was impressed….My eyes leaked a little bit. What a precious young lady…Pete

Record 10 -1 so far…..Here we go:

Bama over Texas A & M …..Bama cannot pussy foot around with the Aggies, they are tough. Bama’s offense looked sluggish against Va Tech and I hope Coach worked the boys on that just a little. They should be alright it they take care of business… Bama by 7 points. Man,what a game, 49 – 42 Bama…..

Arizona over UTSA….Listen, Wildcats fans, this bunch from San Antonio has come to play football and if you take them lightly they will beat your butt. But, Arizona is the better team and should win by at least 14 points. Arizona 38 – 13….

New Mexico Lobos vs Pittsburg…Pittsburg Panther fans…ditto my remarks to Arizona. You will probably beat the Lobo’s but you dang sure better play your A team..You let down and the Lobos will beat you. Play your best and you should win by 14 Points.  Panthers 49 – 27.

New Mexico Aggies vs UTEP….UTEP is favored by 6.  Picking an upset this week….These boys have played Texas and Minnesota and had them both back on their heels for a time. This week the Aggies by 3 points. Oops, UTEP over Aggies 42 – 21….

Wisconsin vs Arizona State….The Badgers are coming into Tempe this weekend to play the Sun Devils and AZ St is favored by 4. Sorry, Sun Devils, the odds makers got it wrong. Wisconsin by 7 points. Another oops, Az St 32 – 30 but Wisconsin slipped down trying to line up for a last second field goal….

Stony Brook vs Buffalo…Buffalo is a FBS school. Some folks around Buffalo are auguring they should be an FCS school. Well, I don’t know but I am pretty sure Stony Brook is gonna give them another butt kicking and put more vim into the works. Stony Brook by 14 points…Well, another oops, but 5 overtimes before Buffalo pulled it out 26 – 23..

Dallas over the Chiefs. Oops, chiefs lucked out,…..Broncos over the Giants…..This one I got…

College record this week, 3 right 3 wrong   season 13 – 4

Pro 1 – 1    season 3 – 2

Well, two weekends ago, after a tough morning in the back yard, weed eating and mowing, etc, and resting with number two daughter having a spot of tea, I commented that due to the professionalism and hard work she had performed in my back yard all summer, mowing the grass and stuff,, again…, that I was willing her my lawn mower, er, upon my demise, of course.( She did display a real joy upon being notified of my decision). So, be it known by all men, and women, that should I pass on anytime soon, the lawn mower is hers. (Said “hers” is number two daughter). Now, if I live long enough to purchase a new lawn mower, I will probably just give her the present one, parts included, and then wait to see who my helper is with the new mower before naming  who the new mower shall be willed to. I figure this will be a huge, I say, huge incentive for the lawn mower operator of said new mower, if and when I get one. I thought I should write this up on my blog just to make it official and all, you see, especially that, “be it known by all men” legalese type language.
