no-look

It’s a strategy often deployed by teams that don’t have equal athletes. Been part of the game forever. I personally am not a fan of stalling the basketball but it’s up to the defensive team to adjust. High school basketball doesn’t need a shot clock 

My popcorn is getting stale. 

A smith & Wesson still beats 4 Aces 

That reminds me of another joke...
A 60-year-old, 70-year-old and 80-year-old men were sitting around arguing one day on what age was worst to reach when getting old.
The 60 year old said, I get up at 6 every morning and go to the bathroom but I stand there for several minutes but and it just trickles and almost nothing comes out.
The 70 year old said, that’s nothing. I get up at 7am and have to go poop but I sit there for 20 minutes and nothing happens.
The 80-year-old man said, y’all have it easy. To which the 60-year-old said, you can’t go urinate in the morning either? The 80-year-old man said, sure, at 6am it comes like a flood.
The 70-year-old then said, oh so you can’t go poop either? The 80-year-old said, sure, at 7am it is like the gates open and you can’t stop it.
So the 60 and 70-year-old men asked, then what’s the problem?
The 80-year-old man replied, “you don’t wake up until 8”. 

That reminds me of a joke…
A couple in their 70s were watching TV late one night and the old lady told her husband, why don’t you go to the kitchen and get me some ice cream, I want chocolate. The old man got up to go but she said you’d better write it down because you have such a bad memory. He got mad at her and said old woman, you are the one with the bad memory and off he went.
About 3 minutes later he yelled back at her from the kitchen, “how did you want those eggs?”.
She yelled back, “I told you, over easy!!”. 

If gonelsons delivers we will all have egg on our face. Lol

If gonelsons delivers we will all have egg on our face. Lol

My postings may be erratic.  I sometimes try to think of something profound, but can’t.  Then a couple come along, like today.  Was reading an old post I kept on S. Print of a Bible quote from 2nd Timothy Ch 4 vs 3 & 4.  I’m using the St Joseph, but it’s virtually the same in King James.  
I became Catholic about 50 years ago.  Once had a Catholic Priest preach, “The main thing is to be a good Christian.  If there’s something in Catholicism that’s a barrier to you being a good Christian, you might consider becoming a Baptist or Methodist (some old parishioners dropped their teeth, lol).  Personally, I thought it the most Christian thing I’d ever heard anyone say.  At that time, “new” non-denominational Churches were almost unheard of.  Now they’re everywhere.  I’m sure some may be fine, but I wonder about others, which brings me back to this Bible quote:
3- The time is sure to come when people will not accept sound teaching, but their ears will be itching for anything new and they will collect themselves a whole series of teachers according to their own taste.
4- And then they will shut their ears to the truth and will turn to myths.
Point is, if for whatever reason your Church is blocking you from being a good Christian, be careful you don’t pick a Church that leads you astray.

May you have a blessed Sunday morning.  I’m in my rolling office, patrolling but worshipping via my FM radio.
 
“There’s no reason to stay in the grave - The Stone’s been rolled away,
He took to the cross, submitted to death, 
He loved each of us with His last fleeting breath,
Then He shattered the locks that were holding the chains,
Took back the keys to every prison you’ve made,
We can live in this freedom today - The Stones been rolled away!!!”
 
Politics, sports, careers, pain and suffering will all fade away but there is eternal life awaiting if you’ll just believe.  May God bless each of you this week.

Had a meme for a while.  Has an US Flag on top & a Texas Flag underneath.  And in the middle a black square with the words:
I WISH AMERICANS LOVED AMERICA LIKE TEXANS LOVE TEXAS
There’s more than humor there.  I wish it was true.  Listening to a radio talk show & they had an owner of a Flag store on.  She said there were more Texas Flags sold than the other 49 States combined.  Think about that.  Yes, I wish Americans loved America as much as Texans love Texas.

Yeah that was a big get for them.  McCain was no earth shattering news.  He’s been there since the spring after a brief stop at Clarendon.  It was widely known he was going to be playing for the Seahawks next season.  And obviously that is huge for Lamar PA as well.

I now feel better about myself. Lol

Had one of my old friends pass away.  I got out of the Army on 11/7/67 & went to work on 2/12/68 at Houston Chemical in Beaumont.  He was the guy that trained me on my job (I was replacing him, he was going to a Day job).  He was a black guy, that was also a veteran, and very smart.  He not only taught me the job, through the years, he taught me much of life.  He was 82.  I always called him on Juneteenth.  Once, after he was retired & I was then working at X/M, I forgot.  He couldn’t get hold of me & called others, afraid something was wrong.  We had a good laugh over it.  RIP my friend.

Maybe a sprung chicken. 

One of the earliest investigators had a possibility that seems more rational, these travelers are arriving through a portal from another dimension.  I can’t seriously believe that anyone on earth has the ability to get any type Craft to drop from 40-50 thousand feet to a hundred feet in a few seconds, as reported by the Nimitz pilots.  Not to mention Underwater phenomenon that can travel at several hundred knots.  Imo, all these tic-tac & bright orbs are just drones, but not man made.  Do I think they’re dangerous - No, merely studying us like we have people that study primitive tribes.  There are literally more suns in the Universe than grains of sand on all our beaches.  Stop & try to imagine that.  Mind boggling, as is the thought that earth is the only one to have intelligent life out of all the suns. 

But then wouldn't you think there would be some idiot that just decided to park the ufo over the Capitol. And say... Honey we're here.

I can just see it now. Alien:  Honey, get the kids together and we will take a Sunday drive and buzz earth and give them some excitement. Lol

Looking forward to see how the WAC treats my BEARKATS!!! 

Lots of changes for local teams. SFA MBB has lost its two top assistant coaches with coach Cox going to UTEP and Mason going to Georgia. No doubt that their salaries were doubled or tripled. Mason was a recruiting machine and will be missed for sure. 
  Sometimes change is a positive thing for all parties... Looking forward to watching some good basketball in the WAC.   Football will also be be very interesting. 

Sing it Merle 

Manners are gone.  Common decency and respect for elders is gone.  The attitude now is say whatever you want (free speech), do whatever you want (defund the police), act however you want (it’s not your fault - it’s society, the government, your parent’s fault, etc).  As people continue to turn their back on God, and as our country continues to distance itself from Him we as a country will continue rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell.

Some of us are relics. Lol
