John Adams: "In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress."
Alan Corenk: "Television is more interesting than people. If it were not, we would have people standing in the corners of our rooms."
Sir Barnett Cocks: A committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled.
My BFF Dr. Stanley S. "Valdez" McGowen has returned from his sojourn in Mozambique. He bagged a gold medal sable antelope and a Niassa wildebeest, and became (as far as we know) the first and only blind hunter to down an elephant! Congratulations Bwana!
Here in the desert Southwest, nothing much has changed, although the weather has been a tad cooler. Only supposed to get to about 75 today with a low of 50. These temps are comparable to Mickey's in Ft Worth and Dean's in Baltimore. It should be back up to the high 80's toward the end of the week though. Our monsoon ... which used to be judged according to Dew Point Temps, but now has arbitrary dates attached to it ... started late this year (very late) and has continued into October. September and October are historically dry months, but not this year.
My (our) Arizona Wildcats played Last night and were 6 1/2 point favorites . I was wary of the game ... we could very well have gotten surprised. Since we had to play without our regular quarterback. But, we won 44-4 to go to 6-1.

In Seattle, illegal immigrants going door-to-door for Democratic candidates !!
In this photograph taken Sunday, Oct. 16, 2010, Maria Gianni poses for a portrait at a phone bank in Seattle being used by OneAmerica Votes, an organization that has launched a vote drive targeting naturalized citizen voters. Gianni, an illegal immigrant, volunteers with the organization as it tries to steer immigrant voters toward Democratic candidates.
