Soth Dakota State 41, Mercer 0

 My favorites are failing me. Of the six games that are completed so far this championship weekend (that I cared who won, I am 1-5.

Thank you Jackrabbits!

You made my day.

Yesterday's post was unfortunate.

 I don't always think things through. I get emotional and think the worst. Change can be fearsome. Especially when there are new limitations.

But the truth is, there is little I can't do now that I could before, Save typing, of course. And I'm not sure about masterbating; that will be saved for later determination.

But psychologically there is a toll. You all know the limp-wristed faggot jokes. Well that is totally me now. And I remember in grade school "Spaz" was the put-down du jour. And now as I feel the spasm twitching through my hand, I regret ever using the term.

I am made more humble.

The harrowing tales of reality.

Reality is not my friend.

It is hard when something you loved is hard to do; physically and mentally.

I affear my depression is worsening. Not to worry, I am not suicidal or anything like that. I just have problems finding joy. I seldom read the comics anymore. They used to be a source of laughter. But the.

 laughter has quieted.

And physically, typing is now hunt and peck. I had an infection in my lungs. And the antibiotic they gave me came with a stern warning that tendonitis was a side effect.

I have lost all control of my right hand. It has been of minimal value for years, but now it is just a lump at the end of my arm.

What do I do now?

The death of the Pac12 or Pac 10 or even Pac 8

 It’s been known for a year that USC and UCLA bolted for the Big Ten.

Then Colorado left for the Big 12. Today, Oregon and Washington announced they were going to the Big Ten. Then Arizona, Arizona St. and Utah announced they were headed to the Big 12.

That leaves Oregon St., WSU, Cal-Berkeley and Stanford. There are some oddities here.

The Big Ten is known for academically top of the line institution of higher education. I think Washington, UCLA and USC easily meet that standard. Oregon, maybe. But Cal and Stanford go way above. And the Pac-12 is known as the conference of champions, much due to Stanford.

They say it is all about the money. I’m sure that is true, but you would think high quality universities in a super huge coverage area (Cal and Stanford) would have kicked Seattle and Eugene’s asses. There is more at play here that will never be known.

I will enjoy my final year of Pac 12 football.

GO DUCKS!!!!!!!!

The heat has arrived

The third or fourth consecutive day of 100˚ +  temperatures. And the ten-day forecast offers no respite.

Ain’t the Inland Empire glorious in the summer.

SEND ICE!

A question of ethics:

Let’s pretend you have this big, fluffy cat. An adorable cat that looks so huggable. She is almost irresistible. But you know she doesn’t like her body touched.

(Aside: I would never do this to Billie Jean. I know there would be bloodshed, paramedics summoned and blood transfusions in the ER.)

Is it morally reprehensible to request that in exchange for room and board, she show a modicum of compromise and snuggle?

And in keeping with the festivities

Today would have been Wayne Edward Peterson’s 69^th birthday. Some of you may better remember him as Knute.

Always a party animal! I think we should all join him in revelry today!
