odds and ends on a sunday morning.

in my routine which i call "the time i got caught in bed with the wife of a jealous hillbilly who carried a loaded 45 with him at all times", a rather cumbersome title, i must admit, i tell how one of my plans was to run out of the hall, jump on the bed and dive through the window because nobody could draw and fire that quick to hit me. i can, at times, feel skepticism in the audience. as proof of my contention, let me point out that in the gunfight here in vegas the other day where a man went into the federal building and opened fire with a shotgun; there was a running gun battle that went from the foyer of the building out into the street and 81 shots were fired by law enforcement people. the gunman was hit two or three times (the press reports only say that he was hit in stomach and head..but an earlier tv report, which could have been wrong, put the "hits" as two) and at least one of those happen inside the building. so, 78 (or so) of 81 shots fired by professionals missed. this is not unusual, it is VERY HARD to hit someone or something with a hand gun especially when under pressure. forget the fucking movies, forget john wayne, forget shooting the gun out the hand, those are fantasies, reality is much different.

the unlv running rebels were the only team in america to play two ranked teams on the road this past week. we barely lost to byu on their court, where they are 69-3 since david rose took over as bb coach and then last night we beat new mexico in the "pit" in alburquerque where they had won 29 straight. go rebels. we should be ranked again this coming week.

in retrospect, i should have voted for and campaigned for, hillary clinton; she would have done a better job than obama maily because she is MUCH tougher. it is almost ironic that i had not gotten involved in politics over all these years and then back the wrong guy. proving that i can be an idiot.

oh well, happy sunday to all.
