good talk

I voted for John Edwards unfortunately he proved to be a faceman. I don't know why Elizabeth Edwards would be giving birth at an old age, they weren't even related to her. I'm pleased as punch about Michael Vick's success, he paid in triplicate. In SI they say that Andy Reid was the ideal coach for Vick to play for considering that both of Reid's sons are currently in prison. Sharron Angle raised 26.9 million for her campaign and Harry Reid raised 22.5 for his, a total of almost 50 million, as many as disliked Reid one would have thought that Angle would have finished him off but the dingbat ran an inept campaign with an incompetent campaign manager who spent most of his time in Missouri where he lived. I didn't watch Sarah Palin shoot that poor caribou, that caribou meant something to somebody, it's like Bambi's Mother. Palin shot and missed the first 4 times and any animal is going to take off running at the report of the first loud gunshot, that this caribou didn't would indicate that it had been drugged. I watched Akron U beat Louisville 1-0 for the Men's NCAA Soccer Championship, the first NCAA title that Akron U has won in anything. I never went there but my father was Akron U's leading scorer and MVP in Basketball in 1934 on a team that only lost one game, Congratulations to Akron U. Last month I went again to the Getty, the Norton Simon in Pasadena and the LA County Art Museum, nobody likes art more than me. Just down Wilshire Blvd. and easy walking distance from the LA County Art Museum are the La Brea Tarpits in Hancock Park and the accompanying George C. Page Museum. Beginning 38,000 years ago the La Brea Tarpits began to trap animals deceived by the water on top of the tarpits not knowing that they'd be caught in the tar beneath. I was there once before long ago and am sorry that I hadn't returned until recently. Tarpit #91 is the only one still being excavated, you can look at that and all the others and then go inside the Page Museum established in 1977. Inside you can see the remains of animals, mostly predators, lured to their doom so long ago, the California Sabre-Tooth (not called the Sabred-Toothed Tiger), Harlan's Ground Sloth, the American Mostodon, Imperial and Columbian Mammoths, Bison, Horses (nobody knows why they died out 10 thousand years ago, seemed like conditions were optimum), the American Camel, the Giant Short-Faced Bear, the American Lion (30% larger than the African Lion, dying out also 10 thousand years ago, I didn't know there was an American Lion), and others. All of this is beyond fascinating and yours to see for a few dollars. A year ago last spring I walked across Pitch Lake in Trinidad where all of the World's asphalt comes from, such things are Very Exciting to me. I urge you to develop healthy interests.
