It's a beautiful day so far and before I go and meet Mr. Bean at the mom & pop ( where I can run a tab ) for a frosty adult beverage or two, I'll leave with one congratulatory remark, a question and a suggestion.

  • Congratulations to the Red Raiders. After getting walloped by A&M by 44 points, they beat the Teasippers, 83-80, in Lubbock. Yes, they are probably going to be watching the tournament on TV, but it was a good win. New coach Pat Knight has evidently watched Mr. Woodcock recently.
  • Beer Factory? On Saturday, huh? Well, I was there at the scheduled time and failed to see any co-drinkers. D-Wayne, i am there ?
  • Five links that I think are worth your time to view. Two are about the Laffer Curve. It includes both conservative and liberal misconceptions. Another two are about income disparity in the U.S. The final one is part of the Drew Carey Project for reason.tv.

was there at 3, left around 6. with josh and chris and dean and penguin and danger dave. they have a patio set up in the back. with music and stuff.
sometimes when people say "i am there" it's a figure of speech that means they are as good as there.

congrats to the pink ladies. they may have beaten the horns in women's lacrosse this year as well. guess the odds of victory finally caught up to a real sport.
