Oh, I guess I’m supposed to be politically correct and call them magnates, but I think maggots fits much better…… Not really being a sports nut nor a gambler (I think if gambling laws were enforced you would see a very serious drop in the interest of professional sports)…… At 5:00 pm CST today, the […]

With the first game starting in about an hour, has everybody filled out their bracket? As far as local interest goes, I have OU making it to the second round, Washington making it to the round of 16, and Texas beating Kansas in the semi-final game. UConn takes it all (not really out on a […]

Randalf asked in a previous post how skiing differed in the German Alps.  Well the main difference I found was with the view. (That first picture is from the top of Jenner in Berchtesgaden.)  The alps are absolutely beautiful and quite more jagged than the Cascades that I’m used to.  It hadn’t snowed in a […]

MRambler jumps for joy after winning Olympic Lead in the “Why the Hell am I still in Oklahoma” competition….. MR attributes his record breaking victory to premeditated procrastination and sheer dumb stupidity….. “The competition was really tough” stated MR and he would like to thank his sponsors – “JekTarn Hiking Supply” of Seattle, WA for […]

I know this blog has people from other than Oklahoma or Texas. Anyway after another dissapointing outing from the Sooners, all I can say is ain’t payback a bitch.

A good friend of mine recently gave HuskySooner some buying tips for a new bike.  I think others might be interested: Hey HuskySooner, I’m not sure how much you want to spend, but I would recommend a minimum of around $450 if you want something to last. Now is actually a good time to get […]

Earlier this week, broken, beat-up bikes entirely painted with white primer appeared tied to select Seattle street lights with signs on them that read “a cyclist was struck here”.  It is a move by an anonymous group to promote bike awareness to car drivers.  Each GhostCycle has a story behind it posted on GhostCycle.org.  This […]

Are there any NASCAR fans out there?….Well, you probably won’t appreciate what I have to say, but at least hear me out…… Now, don’t get me wrong, I used to be a BIG NASCAR fan years ago…. But now, I get tired of watching a bunch of different colored melted “twinkes” goin’ ’round and ’round […]
