i believe

I BELIEVE
that we will win
i believe that we will win
or 
click here to watch the video

even i started saying and singing this under my breath
as i was driving along in the car
inspired by all the thousands and thousands of
us soccer fans that were singing it
at venues all over the world
heck
there were thousands at jerrys world in dallas
i mean arlington
watching the us play on the big jumbotran tv screen there
and
all chanting
i believe that we will win

at the world cup in brazil
as i watched on tv
i watched all the us games
and
i watched a lot of the other games
including the semifinals games and the final game
i got these chill bumps
even shivered some
first listening to the star spangled banner
our national anthem
being sung in that faraway stadium
then
it was followed by the relentless chanting of the us fans
there and all over the world
i believe that we will win

now the us hopes were down graded some when the group
they were in was announced
even i thought they aint going to make it out of that group
but
this young team with the super goalie made most folks
even myself eat our words and thoughts
they in the end were no match for those elite european teams
the dutch and germany

futbol the most popular sport in the world
was shown well on the international and national spotlight
this summer
for a brief time it overtook the sports world even here in
the us
even i heard sports announcers talking about it
who are always degrading soceer

hopefully this catching the hearts of americans this summer
can help propel this futbol more into the sports psychy of
us americans

i can feel the momentum

now that all said
i loved the espn handling of the world cup
the greatness of futbol
the showing of the american futbol team
but
i must say i am now ready for the american football to start

so this is what its like

SO THIS IS WHAT ITS LIKE
ive never lived in the mountains or way up north
and had to endure those long cold winters

djringer.com
the closest we ever came to that was when my wife she
was in graduate school at the university of arkansas
in faytetteville arkansas
tucked in the ozarks in the northwest corner of the state
when the year we were there those wintery storms
came through on a weekly basis
and it seemed there was always snow and ice on the
roads that winter during january and february
i didnt like it then
and i dont like it now

as we here in central texas have been forced in side by
cold weather for several days and will have at least two
more days before we get that warming trend we
usually see here in central texas

all that cold rain and sleeting thats been going on does
make for a fun weekend though

so we were locked inside by the weather
i have my gardens all covered up with the white row cover
blankets that lets the water through but keeps it warmer
around our plants









we have had our wood burning stove going all weekend like
an old train engine
shoveling in wood to keep it full
after awhile the heat from the stove warms all the limestone
inside our house and we basically have this warm oven
that we can live in
its the best warmth you can ever experience
almost cocoon like

then for me i got to watch football all weekend long and
mostly vegetated on the couch that big comfortable made
for football and lounging and napping

i saw the razorbacks lose but i think theres a team brewing inside
there that will get better every year
dont give up hog fans

i watched that johnny football play
he lost but i would pay to watch him play live
hope he goes pro this year

i watched the baylor bears hoping to watch that high powered
offense but they got mauled by the osu cowboys

i watched the cowboys win thank goodness
the best of the worst it seems

then i watched the beginnings of the peyton vs tom battle
wished i could have stayed awake for the whole game
it sounded like a good one at the end
however
im real glad i wasnt at that game and am glad i dont live in new england

ill never complain about our weather again

so a good cold but warm inside snuggly weekend
here at the country n

sometimes you just have to have one like that you know

the good the bad the ugly

THE GOOD THE BAD THE UGLY
there was a lot of this going around here this weekend

the horns won
they just beat the heck out of the sooners
where oh where have they been all season
heres hoping they play like this the rest of the season
then mack can retire with some dignity
it is time you know

the hogs lost well they lost bad
theyve got a lot of ugly games to go
not a good season im afraid

thanks goodness the cowboys won
but they did lose two starters ware and murray

the ugly occurred as the texans fans cheered as
their quarterback lay on the ground injured
tasteless like the eagles fans
heck they booed santa claus one time

kxan.com
then we got a ton of rain around here
it flooded things in austin and the surrounding areas
of course we only got a 1/4 inch
thats the ugly
but
i did get to do a lot of ranch work here at the country n
before the rain started

the acl fest day two was canceled as the zilker park was
partially under water
some bands went to local venues and played anyway
good ole austin

then something happened and sewage got mixed in with
all that runoff
wonder where it goes and do you want to ski swim or
fish wherever it goes
dont think i would

all that rain still may not have happened enough on the watershed
of the lake travis and the other highland lakes that supply much
of the water around here
well see as the week progresses

in south austin a lady who was 6 months pregnant did not
heed that warning
dont drown just turn around
she had to be rescued
she couldnt get her windows down to get out
so someone came and broke her windows and pulled
her to safety

folks thats one of my fears is running into deep water
and not being able to lower my windows to climb out
so
in two of my vehicles i have the old type of roll down windows
this aint going to happen to me

then
you know im a big supporter of obamacare
so i was successful yesterday in opening up an account
and answering all those security questions
now which pet was that was my favorite
hope i can remember the answers

then
when i excitedly tried to go farther to complete the applications
it failed
granted on sunday am i couldnt get on my credit unions website
or my investment website either

hopefully i will be able to finish this up
since i have 2 more months to do it
just hope others not as motivated as i am dont give up

so it was
a good
a bad
a ugly
weekend

what a weekend, dont call me

WHAT A WEEKEND IT WAS
i have a rule watching sporting events
no matter the score
even if my team is losing
i always watch the whole game from
start to finish
unless of course i fall asleep
which is a frequent occurrence
but
with dvr im able to watch the ending
eventually

this weekend however i broke my rule
when i was watching the byu texas game
i watched as much as i could stand of the game
until the third quarter
then i couldnt stand it anymore
so
i turned it off
and the next day i even erased the dvr
i had made of the game

yes i broke the rule my long time rule
i couldnt stand to watch those horns not tackle someone

even i know after not playing football for nearly 50 years
you cant tackle a rugby player with just your arms
or a bum legged quarterback

how embarrassing that performance was

yes manny your head had to roll the next day
thats the way the game is played now

now
how do you learn how to tackle in 1 week
you dont

it my friends could be a long season for horn fans


thank goodness the cowboys won and looked good
doing it
so the weekend wasnt a total loss

hogs won but samford
4800 students
think a rice like school
i always think sanford and sons when i hear that name
only winning by a few points isnt a good sign either


wait isnt that the new arkansas a sign
johnny and aggies won and he i think kept his mouth shut
and his autographs to himself
thank you coach sumlin

cant wait until next week am vs alabama at college station
what a game to watch next week

DONT CALL ME

this weekend i called this number
which you should do

so
dont call me with those annoying calls that our home
phone gets
that we dont ever listen to or answer

number one, passwords not passable

NUMBER ONE

texas is number one in sports
no not football definitely not football as theyve not
played well the last 3 years
and definitely not basketball mens or womens

although they have been national champions in football and
basketball and baseball and swimming and track
but not recently

so how are they number one

its in how much is it worth
the football program
its worth this last year was set by forbes at $133 million

i guess money cant always buy success
right jerry jones

number two was michigan and number three was notre dame

no national champions there for either of those recently

alabama old bears school and nicks now
is number six at $95 million
guess they are getting their moneys worth

best deal
kansas state go grey fox
worst deal
kansas
guess the state of kansas balances out evenly then

PASSWORDS NOT PASSABLE


theres a list of 25 worst passwords
the number one is password
really
password
password1

qwerty   was wondering what that word was until i looked
at my keyboard

others
trustno1
baseball
jesus
michael
letmein   so apparently this one does let people in as this
list is from data stolen and posted online by hackers

ninja
123456
12345678
welcome   yall come on it and steal my stuff off my computer

mustang
111111
ashley   wonder why this one is on the list

football
shadow
123123
master   yep come on in and master my computer

sunshine
baseball   what no basketball or soccer

abc123
monkey   monkey around with my computer

so how to make a good password
from komando.com
write a sentence
used the first letters to make your passwords
use letters and numbers and symbols
use at least 8 of them
change your password frequently

eg
if its for a bank password i write
you guys are fing thiefs and crooks
ygaftacks
y9af$8ck3 is my new password

you can still get hacked but you are less likely if you dont
qwerty your password
