Well, bye bye

It looks as though we are finally going to rid ourselves of the whole sordid Peterson drama. It is likely that he'll get the death penalty. Then, we won't hear from him again until they publish his book. It'll take 20 or 25 years to actually execute his sorry ass. He'd probably die sooner if they give him life. Such is the justice system in California.

I guess the whole country except southern California got dumped on by the same weather system thaat inundated the Philippines early this month. Even though it is still cold here, I still get the chance to watch the weather channel and laugh my ass off. I still have the miserable cold. It is getting better thanks to my short sweety. It is clear and sunny here. The temperature is a chilly 65. 2 1/2 months to go until winter crumps. I can hardly wait.

If I had a million bucks, I'd give about 50k to the police officer who gunned down that idiot who went berserk at the heavy metal concert. He has done the country a great service. As a bonus, we won't be overwhelmed by 24/7 news coverage of the murderer and everybody who ever knew him.

December 7 slipped by with hardly any notice of the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Have we become so chummy with the Japanese that we're willing to forget the atrocities they commited in the middle of the last century? December 7 should be a national holiday and a day of remembering the sorrow and death caused by the invaders.

My fishing buddy in North Carolina reports that the fishing has greatly improved over the last few weeks. He fishes mostly for the spotted weakfish, known locally as "trout." North Carolina had great fishing. Almost anywhere you dropped a line in the water you could catch fish. Another fishing surprise was upstate New York. Buffalo didn't have much going for it, but it did have some great fishing.

It looks like the Sooners will play USC for the national championship. Go Sooners! I have the perfect solution to the championship mess in NCAA football. Instead of playing all those out of conference games at the beginning of the season, why don't they start conference play at the beginning and save the non-conference stuff for after the conference champions are determined? That would give them about4 games to decide who's best. They could structure the playoffs so that the various bowls would get a crack at them and then rotate the championship game through the different bowls. Too easy?
