March Madness, Royce White and Other Random Thoughts

Random thoughts

March madness is about half way done, in one bracket I picked ISU to upset Kentucky.  In the other I have Kentucky losing to Kansas in the final (big twelve guy), this is probably a little more realistic but I liked the feeling of picking ISU to go far in the tournament, Thanks Coach Hoiberg for bringing back the magic.

Good luck to Royce White in the NBA, thanks for the great season.  Would have loved to see him stay another year, but he has a child and an opportunity to earn millions of dollars.  So it is easy to understand.

This weather has been fantastic, a little breezy but still better than snow and ice.  Nice to get out ride the bike, walk around with the camera seeing flowers popping up.  I had not missed the bugs on the windshield or flies trying to get in the house.

Anyone else ready for this election to be over, I am so tired of getting calls asking for my opinion…..oh and some money!

Does anyone else miss NASA’s space program?  I was thinking about the shuttle missions and the space station and how much I miss hearing/reading about the tests and experiments.  Seems like we have lost the will to imagine and explore.  It will be hard to inspire young engineers to design a new more efficient hybrid car……. As opposed to inspiring engineers to designing a Mars probe.  NASA’s budget was 0.5 of a penny on every tax dollar.  The whole 850 billion dollar bail out is more than NASA’s entire budget for the last 50 years.  Go watch this http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=da3_1331394029

Never text random people “I hid the body now what”, but that is what a bored 25 year old lady in Saskatoon Canada did.  One of her random text ended up on an off duty police man’s phone.  It all ended with armed police surrounding her home late last Friday evening.  If you want to read the story; http://www.canada.com/technology/Prank+text+about+human+remains+ends+police+standoff+Saskatoon+woman/6335593/story.html

 Enjoy the rest of today and remember…..Don't follow the path ahead.  Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail!
