good talk

In 732 Charlemagne's grandfather, also Charles, halted the Islamic Advance into Europe at Northern France by routing the Moslems at the Battle of Tours, sending them fleeing into Spain and saving the rest of Christian Europe, this gained him the sobriquet of Charles Martel, Charles the Hammer.  Charles' Conquest has been squandered (See Michelle Malkin's Column for Sept. 20, 2015 in the L.V.R.J.).  Dikembe Mutombo was just inducted into the Basketball of Fame, I saw him play when he was at Georgetown.  Sort of a wild African, and overly free with his elbows, LeBron was coming across the lane in his 2nd year and Dikembe gave him a concussion.  LeBron hasn't had many injuries.  I saw UNLV play UCLA, Josh Rosen did only okay, he kept on bombing-away, Myles Jack at 230 lbs. returns kickoffs and pretty-well.  I saw N. Illinois play last year, they went into Columbus uncowed and almost came-away with something, making the Bucks' Offense look terrible.  The Octoberfest in Munich is on, I've been there and enjoyed-it, but it's one-dimensional, sort of the World's Biggest Beerblast (you seen guys in Bavarian outfits barfing in the shrubs)
