Rain
it rained last night.
at first it just sort of spit a little. i thought it was sand on my windshield at first. but when i hit my windshield wipers, it made mud!
then it actually sprinkled for a few minutes. then it receded back to spit. and stopped altogether.
rain. it was really nice to see.

Spending Spree!
yeah. i haven’t hardly spent a dime while i’ve been over here.
i guess that’s not really true. i pay for food, gas, phone, whatever. but i haven’t really been buying much else. and i’ve been making a nice paycheck.
i’ve just been paying off bills, which is a really good feeling. liquidating credit card debt.

Geneva Conventions
much is being made in the realm of law about the status of the combatants in gtmo.
lawyers are especially want to decide their fates in a court of law. i think is more than a little bit of self interest here. more than a little bit of self justification going on by the members of the bar.
the world is chaotic. states provide sanity and order to the world. inside the state we do this with law. some nations have laws which are very similar. some not so similar. cultures dictate to us our similarities and differences.
when states meet and inevitably clash in the world, we try to pre arrange each others conduct with things called treaties. a while ago the major powers of the world met in a place called genf, switzerland (land of my forebears) to agree on the conduct of nations towards each others citizens.
specific conduct was determined, AS WELL AS the criteria for qualifying a person under the auspices of those conventions.
an important point is that the conventions specifically left matters internal to a state alone. no state wanted another state meddling in its own internal affairs.
this gives us our current dilemna.

Pop Tarts
hello all
every now and again i write a post with a few pics of some little starlet. maybe she already is famous for something. but a little famous nonetheless.
i used to run it weekly, but i didn’t get too much by way of response out of my pop tarts posts, so i quit. but i’ve recently had a request for another, so i’m looking for pics.

Football Fights
ok. this is not really a post about football.
the univeristy of miami played florida international university this last saturday in miami. at one point the game devolved into a bench clearing melee in the middle of the field. fans even got into fights in the stands.

Losing Bets
yeah, i lost a bet with craig. most of you could tell i didn’t write the texas are the greatest post i hope.
but i lost, so that thing has to stay on top for a damned week!
it’s all right. stoops will get them next year. he’s 5-3 versus texas. so he’s doing pretty well. this does put a damper on oklahomas chances to win the national championship though.
bomar needs to be shot.
anyway. i have some other nice posts coming. but you’ll have to check underneath the texas stuff.

Pole Parties
well, seems like kandi and mahli are still having fun. mahli sounds like she has cooled off a bit. kandi is still cool with me, but i’ll still be a bit antsy about going into pt’s when i get back.
of course by the time i get back to san antonio, they’re likely to be dancing at different bars, or even in different cities.
